could be that one caliper isn't opening up fully, causing the pad/s to rub more then they should when your not using the brakes....

Lube up all moving parts...except the disk of course lol

What the caliper does is it pulls that side in. When one pad is wearing more than the other, and it usually is the one you are talking about, it is not sliding correctly.
