You might be doing it wrong. Make sure you keep the fluid tank topped up, and use a nice long clear tube for bleeding. Get another person to pump the brakes while you watch the bubbles. You should see the new, less-brown fluid start to come out and it shouldn't have air in it.
Also, air may be getting sucked in when you take your foot off the brake. If the above doesnt work, try this... each time you push the brake down while bleeding, tighten the bleed nut tight, then release the brake pedal, then loosen the nut, press brake, tighten nut, release brake pedal, etc. The air can get sucked back in when you let your foot off the brake, basically. G'luck.
