Must have said something wrong - don't need the ignition on to bleed although I tried both off and on. Didn't make a difference.
Thanks Vaughan - will let you know how this turns out - likely will post more info for help!

Ben-if it's the late German syndrome, you need to force the fluid thru with the hi pressure type bleeder, not pump it thru w/pedal. If it's this case, you will not be able to get a decent peadal no matter how long you pump the pedal! phil

Ah, I forgot about ABS... Used to my old cars Yep, there's a special procedure for that, and IIRC, it does require a pressure bleeder (I don't have it handy, but have it somewhere on my Audi service DVD somewhere)
OK - here's and update. I was able to isolate the blockage down to the abs pump. Fluid will not come through to the rear line. I checked EVERY line and the calipers with compressed air. Made sure to disconnect the ABS first.
Sure learned more about brake hydraulics than I knew before.
Looks like a new ABS pump will solve this problem.

ABS pump fixed the problem - car is running sweet.
