No parking brake?

So fast forward 6+ months and I'm still diagnosing the problem. I learned something new today: with the piston pushed all the way into the caliper both sides appear to work as normal. That is, rotate the lever and the piston is moved outward about 1/8 in. or so. However, after the piston is adjusted outward to contact the brake pad only the driver's side piston moves when the parking break lever is moved. I'm guessing something is wrong inside the passenger's side caliper.
