If you are bending large batches in advance there are "anti caking" agents that are available commercially. Also I think that maybe you have a moisture problem. Make sure that you store all your spices in a dry area away from the stove and dishwasher where moisture is higher.

If you are using brown sugar, place it in a thin layer on a baking tray and let air dry. Once it is dry break or mash into granules and use as regular brown sugar.

Another option is to swtich to turbinado sugar. It is typically much dryer than regular brown sugar. It is what use when making my own rubs. No caking issues.

Since Turbino sugar does not have quite the same flavor as brown sugar, another thing you can do is look for free-flowing brown sugar. These sugars are produced by a co-crystallization process. The process yields fine, powder-like brown sugar that is less moist than “regular” brown sugar. Since it is less moist, it does not clump and is free-flowing like white sugar. You can usually find this with the baking products.
I buy Imperial Sugar/Dixie Crystals brand in the local grocery store.

Another thing for home blenders is to omit the brown sugar. Calculate your season mix to brown sugar ratio, then just mix in the brown sugar when you use the rub.
