Just went through third belt in 6 months... why.?

I have a 1993 9000 CS automatic, and I have just gone through my third belt in 6 months. This car has a new alternator, new tensioner and idler pullies, new waterpump, I have checked the PS pump for play and make sure the Crankshaft pully is ok. It seems like something is causing the belt to jump off its tracks, and when it does, it must rub up against the tensioner pully mounting brackets, shredding it to bits.
Could the AC compressor cause this? Or how about a worn tensioner pully spring/shock? I have noticed that when the AC Compressor turns on, the belt does seem to jump around a bit, but Im not sure what that means. Does it mean that the AC is starting to seeze up?
This forum is a great place for information, and I apprecaite all the help.
