If the belt is squeaking due to slipping, try some valve lapping compound...it'll actually provide better traction for the belt on the pullies (spread it on the belt and pullies). If it's the pulley itself, you could give the stuff that 1slow01Z71 mentioned a shot, but you have to try and get it into the pulley's bearing area, if possible. You don't want to get any sort of lubricant on the belt itself as it will allow the belt to slip.

Dry teflon lubricant. Same stuff I use on my moutian bike chain/sprokets/derailurs. It will not allow dust/dirt to stick to it like most oils or wet lubricants do. I had a problem with my AC compressor clutch squeeling when not applied. Tried several wet lubricants without longterm success. After cleaning it then using the dry teflon spray, it hasn't squeeled since. That was ~2 years ago.

Sweet, I gotta check that out! My compressor does the same thing...it's like a rusty rubbing noise when not engaged...turn on the ac and the noise goes away.
