i have the same problem have no clue what the hell it is, but its starting to bug me. once i get home this friday im going to tear in there, and wiggle things around, im assuming it might actually be the caliper, because those rear brakes havent been changed in ages.

Yes, there should be a metal clip on the caliper, you can easily see if this is missing or not, sounds like a good posibillity.
