Mike,
Looks like I solved the problem. You were correct with the x belt, but it wasn't the tension.
I always try to keep the optics and bearings clean, I tend to be a little more lenient with the belt. (Its much more time consuming.) Prior to the anodized, I was working with wood. The belt still had a whiteish film on it. I figured the wood dust isn't too abrasive relative to many other materials: stone, glass...
I just took the time to really clean it. The diagonal stripes went away. Amazing.
What is the easiest way to clean the Versa's belt? I used denatured alcohol on Q-tips. (It took several.)

Ken,
I would just use an old soft toothbrush with the alcohol It should work fine for that.
