It sounds like you need to adjust your rear brake shoes as per instructed in the Haynes, Bentley or Idiot's Guide shop manuals. Or, second guess, you may need to adjust the cables where they attach to the e-brake handle (check the shoes first). The e-brake handle, when the parking brakes are properly adjusted, need only click about 6 times, maximum. I'd need to check my own manual to make sure, but I know it isn't much.
