Squid, do you use your e-brake all of the time? What I mean is, everytime you shut off the car you should use the e-break because it keeps the rear brakes adjusted. Also, you may just have a sticking cable, I would lift the car have a buddy work the brake and shoot the bare cable where it goes into the insulation on either side (both wheels) with some WD-40. DO NOT spray in or around the drums. If that dosen't work pull the rear wheels tap the rear drums a few times, pull of the drums and spray the area with a liberal dose of brake cleaner, being careful not to inhale in brake dust, or fumes from the chemicals, and whatever you do DO NOT get that brake cleaner in your eyes, I am hear to tell you that I would rather have been kicked in the sac TWICE more that have been shoot in the eyes with that crap! OK, I'll shut up now. hope this helps.
