Keep breaking belt tensioner...long

92 9000 CD Turbo.
I had a new belt tensioner and timing chain put in back in May/June. About 3 weeks ago, the serpentine belt just popped off- it didnt actually break, it just came off. The shop that did the belt tensioner work said that the belt tensioner was bent "..as if someone pried against the tensioner while trying to put the belt on." They replaced the tensioner at no cost (but also replaced the cam shaft pulley for $300). Last Friday on the way home from work, same thing...belt pops off. This time, one of the brackets that the belt tensioner is attached to snapped. The shop doing the work is a reputable indy shop here in GR (German Auto) and they aren't sure what would cause this behavior. Any ideas/suggestions are welcome.
