Thanks for the tip!
It looks to me like the dust cover (thing that site between the pulley and the nut) may not be necessary at all for the non-OEM pulley I bought. In fact, the dust cover may be pressing into part of the pulley that is supposed to turn when I tighten the nut. I'll try removing it, torquing the nut and seeing how that goes.
