Frequently, the problem with bleeding a RBV clutch occurs in the master cylinder. There is a spot near the bottom that traps air, and when that happens it will never come out during normal bleeding procedures. Fortunately, the fix isn't terribly difficult. Unbolt the master from the firewall (no need to disconnect the hydraulics) and invert it so any trapped air can enter the line to the slave. Bleed it until that air pocket pushes through, and you're good to go. My favorite bleeding method involves a section of clear line long enough to go from the slave bleed valve to the master reservoir. If you immerse the end in the reservoir, you can just open the bleeder and continue to cycle the piston until you're done without using a second person. Makes it a very easy and quick job.
