But I am done with it for a day. The rental is until Monday, so I am going to worry about it then. Just set off fireworks, now to go have some.

Make sure the fittings sealed. Did you bleed the anti-locks too? Did you have someone helping you (pushing on the brake until the flow was good)? Was the car on jacks when you were bleeding the line? Sometimes the bubbles work out while they sit. Could there be a pinhole in the lines? I blew my front brakeline stopping for a baby turkey last fall and it was soo rusted it blew. 80% of the time, when we do a caliper, we do the line at the same time if theres a hint of weakness (depending on the hassle involved).
