unfortunately the answer is simple physics. You have no hydraulic pressure. That means there is air in the system or an internal seal leak( This assumes ther is no leak to the outside). It can be most difficult to fully evacuate the air in these systems. Since you have new components I would lean twards air in the system remains.

1: The remote bleeder line should not have air inside it.
2: If it has air come out of it when you depress the pedal and open the valve continue the bleeding process.
3: If you did not install the washer on the remote bleeder you would know bc it would slowly but surely leak fluid.
It sounds like the MC is allowing fluid around the ram seal. That is the only answer if you are 100% sure it is not leaking anywhere and there is no air in the system.. Test this theory by depressing the clutch petal to the floor and hold it there after you have good pedal pressure for several minutes.. If your pedal does not come all the way back with good pressure it is leaking past the seal in the MC, there is air in the system, or you have a leak.
Try checking these things and tell us what you come up with.. It might also be a good idea to place cardboard underneath the car to make sure a leak would easily be spotted by the dripping fluid on the paper surface.
BTW, just helping you out here for future posts.
1000k = 1,000,000
500k = 500,000
1k = 1000
.5k = 500
