given the disc suface is good, the pads are beded in, the hose is sound and the caliper has been properly overhauled, it leaved two possibilities, the first is your master cylinder seals have gone or you're having problems bleeding the system.
Whilst the first is possible it's not a normal ware point and easily checked when bleeding the brakes, the second however I've had many cases of people having bled their brakes several times, but still unable to do it properly, after being shown, they have been able to solve a problem they thought was something else.
Just for ref, my 02 never had a problem with the rear master cylinder or caliper, in fact I had a braided rear line but never needed to fit it, good wash down thoughout winter and didn't even need a rebuild for it's 154,000 mile life (currently on my brothers SV for the last 8,000 miles).

Really? sh*t!!
Oh yeah, Mine locks up fine, so perhaps a complete overhaul/bleed??
