This will put enough constant fluid down the line to drive any air out of the bleeder valve.
All pedal pumping is doing is just moving the air around in the lines instead. Hence the system is self air bleeding, meaning that the air is trying to come back up the tank from the slave between pumps, and as you are pump bleeding, your driving the air pocket down, and it just floating back up to the master.
Also, are you sure that you installed the remote bleeder correctly, and it not leaking all over the place around the slave cylinder connection instead?
