that it is your tensioner strut/shock...whatever you want to call it. I had the exact same problem. When that part fails, the pulley spins just a little out of line with the other pulleys. That pulley will shred the crap out of belt in no time if it doesn't line up precisely.
WHen I say I am confident that it is the problem, I wouldn't be willing to bet the price of a new part on it or anything...but it is definately the most likely cause. It is the only pulley that has an offset mounting point on the engine, so it is the most likely to wind up off track. If any of the others were bad you would have fluid leaking or crazy noise from mechanical interference in the pumps or alternator.
Cheers,
David
