T$$ Brake light question

After doing much brake work on my 91 200q 20v over the past few weeks -- 
namely New Rear rotors and pads and new parking brake cables, along with new 
shifter bushings and many other odds and ends -- my "brake" idiot light is shining 
brightly in my dash (the one that would normally indicate an engaged parking 
brake).  

I haven't driven the car since replacing the brakes, and the light did not 
light up (other than on startup) prior to the rear brake work.  Brake fluid 
level is near max, having been pushed up by turning in the calipers.  No 
indication that the bomb is failing, in fact, it seems to be just fine.  Parking brake 
seems to engage just fine, with both calipers engaging and releasing smoothly.

Suggestions?  Areas to look?  It's been a few weeks since I have driven this 
car, and I would like to get it out on the highway and have a little fun with 
it.

Thanks,

-- Tom
