FLL - sounds like the tensioner for the auger may need to be adjusted. There is usually an adjustment on either the cable or linkage between the auger control handle and the base of the machine where there is a level that engages/disengages the auger. This adjustment is to control the tension on the belt as it wears out - thus it may have been adjuster tighter as the old belt wore out and now needs to be looser with the new unworn belt.
May be worth a try before going through the expense/hassles of relplacing the belt again.
Hope this helps!
