I just did the brakes on my S80 and had the same problem. I replaced the pads and rotors with genuine volvo parts and the pedal would go to the floor and would not build back up. Turns out I put the wire like spring that mounts on the outside of the caliper on backwards (the tabs were pushing on the wrong side of the caliper). I switched the spring around on both wheels and the brakes were good as new.
