1) If you've replaced the master cylinder it needs bleeding before the calipers.
2) Have you installed the calipers with the bleed nipples at the highest point? Any air will sit at the top of the piston cavity and won't bleed out if the nipples are located lower than this.
3) How are you bleeding the calipers? To be absolutely sure no air gets back into the system, lock-off the bleed nipple before the brake pedal bottoms out.

Hope this helps :)
