your showing an excellent regard for sterile procedures. Frankly I just wash the jars out since the PCing is supposed to re sterilize.

Calcium Lime and Rust remover; sold at hardware stores and it's only about $5 for a 1.3 litre bottle. It also works great for removing calcium and deposits off sides of jars after pressure cooking/boiling.

you know, unless they smell too terrible to keep in your house without the bleach, it really shouldn't matter at all. if you're going to pressure cook them for 90min again next time, they will become sterile.
infact, i would imagine that the jars would be at 250 degrees for longer than the middle of the grains are.
if you've tried twice and failed you should look into what you're using to knock up your jars. if it was a sterilization problem there is a better chance that you would have 2 or 3 jars fail, rather than every single one.
are you flaming your needle? are you going straight from a syringe or an LC?
it seems like you have a problem further back on the chain. the only time my friend bleaches his jars is 24 hours before opening (with a syringe) if they have wet spot. that's just due to the nasty smell.

Third time was the charm for me. Water content was the problem for me.
