Here's a test for you, undo one at a time the feeds to the rear brakes on abs pump and push the pedal. In all logic they should leak fluid, if not the abs block could be blocked inside.
If you get fluid at the abs block then move down the next fitting on pipe or each flexible pipe and repeat. If fluid at each pipe before and after the fittings then undo the bleed niple on each caliper and see if fluid comes out with the brake pedal pressed. This will show where the fluid Is getting too. You can start at the caliper end instead and work your way back to the block. This can be done at the master cylinder also.

It's in RAVE All Models version
cheers thanks
Why are you trying to bleed them? is it just a brake fluid change, or has work been done on the braking system?
Are you sure they've not been pinched anywhere? try disconnecting from the ABS block and (with the bleed nipples open!) blowing some compressed air through to make sure there is free passage. While you're at it, get someone to gently pump the pedal to check you at least have flow through the ABS block.
