This caused one of the brake pads to be pushed too far away from the rotor as the wheel turned. Hence why as soon as the car rolled I would loose brake pressure... seems all so simple now

FWIW, these bad rotors were purchased locally. The replacement rotors bought from our host are working perfectly.

Holy crap, this is the type of thing that will make you craaazy. Nice work figuring it out!
