In my case, I just quit bleeding too soon.

Clutches are harder to bleed than brakes since they don't have a definite 
stop point to work against.

Toward the end the slave cylinder was moving 1/16" or so but still no 
pedal feel.  This state lasted through a few bleeding cycles.

Make sure you're not re-aspirating through the bleeder or running out of 
fluid in the reservoir.
