If your clutch hub basket is wobbling, it can cause all the symptoms you have descriped here. Are you using the long rollers or the caged bearings for your hub?
Belt drives need to be aligned much closer than a chain drive. Also if you have your belt too tight it can also cause the problems you are describing.
If everything looks pretty good than maybe a clutch TAMER would be of some help to ya. -Steve
