Or has one of the attach points come loose and you have too much
slack in the cable so you
don't get the pull on the foot brake arm?

From your description it sounds like either you aren’t pulling hard
enough or you’ve got a lot of excess friction in the hand brake
mechanism.
Without actually witnessing the hand brake revolving loosely, I’d
venture a guess it is not supposed to act that way.
