Andy,
Peter is right. Fluid contamination can cause lockup of the rear
brakes. My guess is either there is fluid all over the shoes because
the brake cylinder is defective or was installed wrong,
or a piece of hardware is missing. What ever it is, the rear drums will
have to come off again. Take a good look when you do take off the drums
and make sure the brake hardware is installed right, the shoes match
the old ones, I'm not sure if you bought O.E.M. parts or from whom they
were bought, but they could be the wrong shoes as well. Make sure the
pad length is the same as on the old shoes. The trailing shoe has
different placement of the friction material thats bonded to the shoes
itself so verify shoes are similar. Good luck.
