tips on bleeding the clutch hydraulics

This morning I went under the hood and tried to bleed the clutch hydraulics. I had great difficulty. The first thing I learned is that if you want to do the bicycle tire thing (many references to this on this BB), cut a tube in two and then fit the piece without the valve stem over the piece with the valve stem. The tubes I was using needed this sort of reinforcement to reach 10 psi. I also found zip ties useful in stopping small leaks in the the knot I had to tie in one end of the inner tube.
Here's the problem. I've been trying to diagnose this for about a week (see earlier posts:

Today when I tried to bleed the system fluid didn't come out of the clutch slave cylinder when I pressurized the reservior. At first I though the bleed valve just wasn't out far enough, after a few turns though the valve came out in my hands which was a little surprising. Any suggestions would be cool. Does this mean that the master cylinder is definitely bad? I'll probably try to replace that tomorrow (I read last night that I need an engine hoist to remove the transmission - that can wait a few days)
