Yeah, my wife's 2005 Golf is hard on pads.
As you say I put a little ceramic grease on the shoulder. I actually had to
scrape corrosion off them to be able to get the pads in...

This reminds me of my hated 2002 Golf, which, along with the Jetta, had a rear
caliper design that collected sufficient sand and corrosion (I was in Toronto
at that point) to prevent the pads from backing away from the rotor. It was a
common issue; the talk of the town over on the TDICLUB forums.
The trick is to use just a little bit of lubricant on the shoulder that carries
the pads. Better yet, remove the pads seasonally for cleanup etc.
