Go rent a vacuum bleeder from a repair shop and put it up to the opening and keep sucking until the air bubbles are gone. Check the fluid as your doing this so you dont run the resovoir dry!

with the brake fluid full have someone pump the clutch dont open the bleeder until you tell them 2 hold the clutch pedal 2 the floor with the pedal 2 the floor open the bleeder wait 4 air or bubbles 2 escape close the bleeder then have them pump agian repeat these steps it may take awhile because by leaving the bleeder open while pumping you where introducing air into the system keep an eye on the fluid level while bleeding or your put more air into the system again if your brake pedal is low because im sure they are being that they probably share the same resivour repeat the same steps 4 the brakes as with the clutch

Sometimes when bleedind brakes or, the clutch in your case, the piston in the cylinder will be pushed past it's normal working point.
What happens is that debris will build up behind the piston during normal opperation and as you bleed it, the piston can be pushed into the debris causing the seal to be scored.
If this happens, it will lose the seal it once had and the pressure will bypass the in the cylinder.
Any time you bleed something, try not to push the pedal all the way down.
I'm not sure if this is what happend to you but, it's something to think about.

Stupid question, but after squirting out a cup of fluid you did refill the brake resevoir right? You can drain the front section totally dry while the rear still looks almost full.

If you look on the side of the brake res you will see a small hose,its very close to the full level, this hose feeds the clutch master!so you can see a couple of pumps and its exposed drawing in air to the clutch system.Fill 'to the brim' and keep full every pump is the only way to get a good pedal........
