You sure you put the correct caliper on the correct side? I got it wrong and had the same problem. Took to Peugeot and as I didn't know what was wrong and the phoned me up and told me I fitted the L to R and visa versa.
If its not that do you have abs? If so there could be a air lock in the abs unit that can only be bled electronically (Peugeot planet)

As mentioned, make sure the bleed nipple is on top, there's no kinks in lines. Where are the calipers from? Why have you changed them in the fisrt place?

Are you sure all the air is out? Get two people on it to do it the normal way I don't trust those systems
