RE: parking brake
If everything is replaced, it's got to be in the adjustment, either at the brake handle or more likely at the shoes.
...have you actually replaced both cables? If not, have you pulled them out to make sure they are sliding smoothly? Thisis a common part to fail in that they rust out and seize at the body attachment point, usually because the plastic housing breaks and lets water in.

RE: parking brake
The way I deal with the parking brakes is to get the shoes centered by adjusting the star adjuster to a point where they just grab, spin the wheel a couple of revolutions and it will slack off again, re tighten the star adjuster and spin it again. It takes 4 or 5 iterations to get to the point where they no longer slack off after spinning. At that point back the star adjuster off a click or two and then adjust the cables from the center console.
