You are routing them right yeah?
Got my belt on slightly wrong first time (was in a hurry!) and had a load of slack leftover lol, checked the haynes and re-routed it properly, was damn tight though!

Put a spanner on the tensioner and get someone to push the spanner while you pop the aux belt on. The tensioner lets of lots of slack this way.

It'll should be pretty obvious if you're routing it wrong... So you've got two options really; wrong belt, or the tensioner isn't slackened off properly. You loosened everything yeah? There's the 2 13mm bolts, then the hex bolt at the top to wind in and out.
