W126 - squeaking brakes, but pads are fine?

I replaced the rear brakes on my car about a month ago... they were badly worn... new rear brakes and they were fine. About two weeks ago, upon slow speed braking, I was (am) getting this horrible squeak as if brake pads are worn... the sounds is definitely coming from the front brakes.

Well, I went and purchased front brake pads and got around to removing the front wheels this evening after work and discovered that the "Mercedes brand" pads are still in very good shape and actually had more "pad" on them than the replacements (Duralast) I bought to replace them.

Anyone have any clue as to why non-worn out brake pads would squeak as if worn on low speed braking?

Thanks.
