You most likely have one of a few problems:

1. Broken clutch fork
2. Damaged wedge collar
3. Failed clutch master cylinder

You did check the reservoir to make sure both sides are full with brake fluid?

yeah. inspect the lines. check for dripping cluch fluid.
if you get this fluid on your paint it'll strip it off. i have a big spot on my fire wall where all the paint came off from a busted master cylinder. hah. have fun with that.
the problem is easy to fix and rather inexpencive.

btw. is there any way you could have had any damage to the cluch? or throw out bearing? posibly the cluch fingers that push back out the fork may be damaged. just a thought. cuz you said you checked everything else

It is a very rare problem but I had my throwout bearing pop out of the presure plate. Does the clutch have any resistance? If it does then this is not the problem. The problem would be in the hydrolics.

I would check for leaks in the system (although it does not sound like there is one) I would then put the car on jackstands, remove the clutch window on the tranny and see if the TB popped out like mentioned or the release fork is busted..
