How long have you been playing the campaign, because it happens, just not right away, sometimes I have to wait for 15 turns.

They'll form eventually.

The game is called 'Total War' for a reason. The AI isn't coded to stop a war if they captured some provinces and fought a long year war, they'll only stop if they have exterminated the enemy (or sometimes until one of them agrees to be a protectorate). As the diplomacy AI and the strategical AI aren't really linked you will see crazy behavior. I'll for my self just ignore diplomacy standings as you can be sure to be attacked by anybody who settles next to your own realm.

There is a mini-mod for RTW which helps to have good diplomacy as human player, Force Diplomacy Minimod

I usually see diplomatic changes with factions starting like 15 turns into the game.
