Do you have any pictures? From your explanation, i am a bit confused when you say "whole bolt, not the petcock." do you mean you loosened the banjo bolt and not the bleeder which is on top of the banjo bolt?
1. is the banjo bolt tight? are the crush washers there and sealing?
2. did you take the slave cylinder off?
3. can you take the bleeder off of the banjo bolt, and see through it?
4. with the bleeder off, can you run fluid through the hose through the banjo bolt?
5. with the hose off of the master cylinder, and the bleeder back on, can you draw fluid through the hose with the mity-vac? (you can take a baggie, a zip tie, and make a fluid container which will allow fluid to be drawn through the hose).
5.5 is the cap on the master cylinder?
6. if you can draw fluid through the hose with the mity-vac, fill the hose, then reattach it to the master cylinder. Then slowly pump the master cylinder to bleed bubbles out of it.
7. try once again to draw fluid through the slave cylinder.
8. see if you have clutch action now.
I know that with my de300, the plates don't always release, so even though the pressure plate is away from the clutch pack, the clutch pack plates are stuck together. it seems as if the clutch cylinder isn't working, when in fact it is.
i hope this helps. if it doesn't, sorry.
