ZAAB, It could be that then rubber line to the rear calipers. These lines will swell internally with age and swell enough that you can press brake fluid through with the pedal, but pinches closed when the fluid tries to return. To test for this problem, the next time this happens, open the bleeder and see if the brake fluid comes out under pressure. back when I owned nothing but air-cooled VW's, I had the same problem after rebuilding all the wheel brake cylinders and had the same mystery problem. A much older (70) mechanic told me about the lines. If the E-brake is working and the rubber dust seal on the rebuilt caliper are fine, think rubber brake line. Not much to rebuilt calipers to fail.
