Are the brake cylinders fed fluid by a remote reservoir that's mounted higher than the cylinders, or are the reservoirs built into the cylinders? If there's no reservoir mounted higher and filled with fluid, air bubbles in the cylinders are a real possibility. My experience has been that bleeding the brakes is best done with a simple mechanical oil pump, think oil squirting gun with a plastic tube on the end, or even a pressurized garden sprayer, filling from the brake bleeder and up through the rest of the system. This way, air bubbles are carried up (their natural direction), and if there's a leak somewhere it becomes apparent. If pulling a vacuum from the top of the system, if you have a leak it will suck in air bubbles, and it will not be obvious if it's a small leak.
