try re-installing it. could be a falty belt too. that, and too much tension, or... unbalanced pulley(s)?
what crank pulley is that too?

when the belt is tightened the belt should be able to turn just enough to see the other side
Pretty much half way

Unceasing Measure
Re: Why is my week-old alternator belt fraying??? *pics* (frostee trooper)
There should only be 1/4 inch deflection in an accessory belt upon installation. That means that if you push on it, you should be able to move it approximately 1/4 of an inch before it becomes rather tense. If it's difficult to flex from the get go, you've over tightened it. Not a difficult fix, luckilly.

make sure that your alternator is lining up with your crank pulley....looks like your alternator may be sticking out farther than your crank

I think something is cutting into it. It is only happening on one side and on the end of the belt. If it isn't rubbing and the tension is ok, it may be the pulley.
