You need to grease the Sliders if they don't have any grease on them.
The inner pad wear could be caused by improperly installing the inside pad. The inside pad has pins to stop the piston from turning when you apply your ebrake. Check the pins for any wear, if it does, there's your problem.
It's a floating rear Caliper. So the piston should NOT be hitting the pins AT ALL. The Notches on the piston should clear it completely. The sliding pins should be kept greased to keep it from seizing.
When you install the new pads, again, make sure the notches on the Piston clear the Pins on the Pad. Pump the brakes and pull the e-brake a couple times after it is all back together and it should line itself up, as long as your calipers are functioning correctly.
That, or it's a sticky ebrake cable, and it's keeping them engaged at the caliper.
Edited for Clarification. I fobbed and got Notches and Pins mixed up. + Pictures
Piston has Notches to clear the Pins on the Pad.
Caliper. note the notches.
Pin on the Pad. It's on the bottom Middle.
Problem solved.
