what happens when you put the transfer case in low and actuate the hill descent control?
In an open area away from traffic at low speed of course...
It could just need a better bleed job, I know i found it difficult to fully bleed the brakes after doing new pads.
One of the tricks is to run the ABS modulator to get the fluid through that system, then you have to bleed again, and repeat as necessary.
One way to activate the ABS without hot wiring is to use the Hill Descent Control.

If he took out calipers perhaps he drained lots of fluid & that's why you have air in ABS pump,, as others said you need to activate ABS pump & bleed it, also as suggested get a icarsoft i930, it is excellent investment , it can activate ABS & if you are planing on keeping Disco for a while it will pay for itself over & over, & you will use it a lot,,, one of best little OBD2 scanners for land rovers for the price,,,

If rear brake's smoking, has nothing to do with E-brake, because E-brake locks the rear driveshaft not the rear brake's,,, maybe your rear calipers were locked up, what did mechanic say before attempting to change brakes,?

If your rear brakes are smoking, it could be caused by a bad wheel bearing. This happened on my 2004 Toyota Sienna just two weeks ago on the front brakes. I ended up changing pads, rotors, hubs, and bearings. It wasn't cheap but my car works now. The bad bearing causes the wheel, hub, and disc to move towards the caliper bracket, causing it to smoke at high speeds.
Check for a bad bearing by jacking up the car and shaking the wheel at 9 and 3 o clock then at 12 and 6.
