  Have the shoes been replaced? Are they contaminated with brake fluid or 
  reduction gear oil? If they are clean and dry, the next place I would
  look is for rusted/seized emergency brake cables and linkage. If that stuff
  is not working as it should it may give your bus a continuously variable 
  brake adjustment.

  Don't give up, there has to be an explanation somewhere....
