parking brake issues 700

my p brake has been loose and ineffective, so I adjusted the brake behind the rear seat ashtray by screing the platic adjuster up. The handle tightened up noticeably (half the height to full brake now), but it still seems to be ineffective.

today when I went to park on a slop (about 10-15 degrees) the car just slid backwards slowly with a groan from the rear wheels.

is there some other adjustment I'm missing or are my parking brake shoes shot? I replaced them about 1-2 years ago (need to look at the records), so I would think they'd be fine but...

any help is appreciated.

thanks,
rt
