New rear brakes make evil scraping noise! 700 1985

Hello, after what I thought was a smooth-going rear pad replacement job...my rear wheels make this bad scraping noise through part of the wheel rotation.

Does the Emergency brake need to be re-adjusted after new pads?

The caliper pistons gave me no trouble at all, going back in smoothly when I pressed them to make room for the new pads, nothing seemed damaged, I used new hardware also, but this gross scraping noise is there???

went for a 2 block test drive, brakes work fine, no mushy pedal or anything.

Could I have bent the round dustgaurd out of shape ( I did accidently bend it when removing the caliper bolts on one side..) and as a result it's rubbing on the rotor?

It sounds like it's coming from both wheels.. and I didn't bend the left side dustgaurd, just the right. P.S. - I re-bent the gaurd back into place, just so ya know...

Any help is appreciated!!!! thanks, Josh
