Ahh - Speedbleeders.  That's your problem.  I love 'em, but they are no good
if there is a LOT of air in the system.  They take a bit of pressure to
overcome the spring-loaded valve inside - if the system is full of air, it
can easily compress by the amount of a pedal push without building up enough
pressure to open the speedbleeder valve.  You'll need to remove them and try
another method - Eezibleed, traditional two-man method with standard nipples
or just a finger over the hole during the pedal lift, or just removing the
bleeders and pumping away until something comes squirting out.  Once you
have some fluid coming out at the cylinders you can replace the
Speedbleeders and proceed normally.

Hope I'm right, and this helps!
