New 2003 rear caliper non functional

Not sure if I'm missing a step during installation of my new left rear caliper on my 2003 Mini S. I installed the caliper, along with the e-brake line and the fluid brake line....bled the brakes. The emergency brake works on the new caliper, but the pedal brake does not press against the rotor. While pressing on the brakes I can rotate the rotor with my hand. Am I missing something...please help!!!

I'd bleed it again...and again...and again...sounds like it has air trapped in it.
