You could try one last bleed.... if you open the bleed nipples one turn and then a full slow press on the brake pedal, release slowly, and then remove the pipe from the nipple just let the fluid dribble out under gravity for about a minute before tightening. (The syphon effect of fluid in the pipe can draw air back into the caliper via the bleed nipple threads). Once you've tightened the nipple, hose the caliper down to disperse any spilled fluid.

Then maybe try and bed them in to see if it makes any difference?
