have you tried pumping the sh*t out of it by hand (hand on pedal) with bleeder
closed?
another thing to try, before removing the hose, is to pump the slave by hand
(unbolted from trans of course)
just a thought....

I do remember another thing from class...
because of the properties of brake fluid, your slave may have corrosion in the
area that the new clutch puts the rubber "cup" that the brake fluid pushes against.
Causing a loss of pressure. But I would think that you would see fluid coming from
the seal...
by properties I mean it's hydroscopic (it attracts and holds water in it).
thats why you need to completely change your brake fluid in A.B.S systems every
4-5 years.(keeps solenoids from rusting up and failing when you're trying to avoid
hitting grandma who just walked into the street!)
sorry, I'll shut up now :redface:

Good Luck on the Slave today;
Like I stated before, I also upgraded my Clutch when I put this Machine back together last month and the same bullshit happened to me.
I think what happens is that the New Clutch puts alot more back pressure on the old slave and it may may not be able to handle it???
Hell I could be wrong, but I went through all the same steps that you have done and finally gave up and bought a new one. Instant Fix.
I hope the same results will come your way.
