How did everything look around the calipers when you bled the brakes? Did you bleed both bleeders on each rear caliper? Did you bench bleed the master cylinder? If all that checks out then you may want to have a look at your proportioning valve.

This just happened to me. I blew one of the pistons seals in the front right caliper. Decided to just make a day of it and replace all four. Check your pads and rotor to see if you can find wetness. My guess is that you might find one of your pads looking like it just took a swim.
