Default Parking brake won't engage on left rear caliper

Question for the Volvo cognoscenti! My 2011 C30 left caliper won't engage when the hand lever is pulled. The caliper works with the brake pedal and the left works perfectly when the pedal is pushed. Strangely the hand brake adjustment at the handle is at max adjustment. The parking brake arms on the caliper work fine. The hand brake pulls on the right side and locks as advertised. There is tons of brake pad left on both brakes and seem to be wearing at the same rate. The car seems to be stopping appropriately.

Any ideas would be great. I am wondering if my caliper is bad? But that wouldn't explain the full thread adjustment at the handle...
