Does sound like its seized, though I would have thought there should be some play in the exposed cable, to take up the slack to the brake? Not sure if you can check by just using the mechanism at the back of the hub? And aren't there return springs - are they present / intact? Just thinking of options before replacing the cable .....

While your under there get a wire brush and Plusgas on the heat shield nuts, you will end up breaking a few when removing them ;)
