they can be a bit of a pain when you completely drain the system.
i used to tap the lines and all connectors when i'd shut the bleed nipple. start from the caliper your doing and work your way up,it does make a difference.
alternatively get a bleed gun thingy, they suck the fluid into the caliper rather than squirting it in from the master cylinder.
have you done the tieing the lever to the bar trick and leeving it overnight?
that usually helps a bit.
