short belt....PLEASE HELP

I just changed my timing belt and decided to go with the short belt due to the difficulties of the center pulley. I went with a Dynaco Polycog 2465mm (97 inches). Everything went nice and easy until I started the car when smoke started coming out from under the hood. I fiddled around for a second and noticed the small pulley (upper pulley?) right above the belt tensioner (the small one with only two grooves) was super hot. I was under the assumption this was an idle pulley and thus should spin freely (presently it does not spin freely). Am I correct in this assumption? Do I just need to replace the pulley and I am all set or is there something else wrong.
Thanks in advance to everyone who is kind enough to respond. Also I am a relative newcomer to diy, so please feel free to oversimplify.
