Brakes smell funny

My car is a 6-cylinder 1992 Nissan Pathfinder with 4WD and about 207,000 miles on it.

I have just taken it to a national chain of brake specialists and had my brakes replaced. I also had some work done on the rotors at the same visit.

Well, a few weeks later I noticed that after driving my car for a little while my rear passenger brake smelled very hot. The others smell fine and the car feels ok and the brakes don't't make any noise.

If I couldn't smell it, I wouldn't even suspect there was a problem. It's a little unnerving. Any ideas?
