Hi Paul
In my experience I would say the belt is too narrow and not driving on the flanks but on its inner face and it will be prone to slipping. The outside of the belt should be nearly flush with edge of pulley. Take a photo of crank pulley so we can see how belt sits. I think this is what is causing your problem, belt slip.
