Nick,

When you bleed the rear brake do you get an even flow from the innermost
fitting?  If not, you might need to split the caliper and check to make sure
the passageway between the two halves is clear - sounds like an obstruction.
Have you ever replaced the seals?

Hi Joe , i've got the same problem with my rear pads , one worn right down ,
the other not even half way through it's life .
I've stripped the rear caliper , cleaned out the crap behind the seals ,
installed new pads , and still have the same problem . You can actually see
the problem when applying the brake , the inner most pad moves across to the
disc and the outer pad hardly moves , the brake still functions but it's
trying to bend the disc over .
I've bled the brake a few times but it makes no difference .
I know it's some sort of balance problem between the 2 pistons , but can't
track it down .

So if anyone's got an idea what's wrong , i'm all ears .

Ps the EBC double HH pads ( copper coloured ) are the ones to get , it's
like having a front brake on the rear . ( when your caliper is working
correctly of course ).
