Just had this happen to my 91 9000. The tensioner bushings can fail and allow the tensioner to get out of allignment. The teeth on the pulley then act like a cross cutting paper shredder and your belt is the paper. Just putting a new belt on will shred it as well within the next 2 months.
If you see a lot of oil on the end on the engine, look at the crank pulley seal (main oil seal) as the possible cause of oil contaminated belts.
Good luck
David
