I noticed your post in the road racing forum.

The ebrake is mechanical, not hydraulic. It doesn't need fluid at all. If you pull the ebrake with no fluid in the lines, it will STILL engage the piston.

Did you change out your cables (or readjust them, or anything like that) after doing the swap?

The drum cables are different than the disc cables. I think you need to replace them..
