Default 2002 s80 Brakes-bleeding

Hello,
I just installed new cross drilled and slotted rotors on my wifes 02 S80. I had to crack the bleeders open on the front in order to expand the calipers over her severely gouged rotors. I bled her brkea last night and then vacuum bled her brakes and the pedal still goes almost all the way down. I must have air in the lines still. Are there any tricks to bleeding these brakes? Any Help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Darrell

Did you do it like this?

I have never seen this method of brake bleeding but this is what is on VADIS:

Update: I took the car to a brake shop today and had them bleed the brakes. They had the same results I did. They told me the master cylinder is bad. Something about the primary port not functioning only the secondary port. Does this sound right?
Thanks,
Darrell
