Check the proportioning valve, it may not be centered!

If all else fails,,,back off a few turns on the nuts that hold master on and try bleeding again. It's possible the push pin is too long and holding the master cylinder piston from coming all the way back, this won't allow fluid to pass through. If this is the case, it's possible you have the wrong master on there or you need to adjust the push pin attached to your peddle assembly.
