You just aren't using enough force I think.
New ones require a bit of extra force to get them moving at first go.
You have to use a nice long extension bar, probably half a metre or so.
I normally use a 15 ring spanner over the pulley nut (not the one bolted to the engine, the other one at the pulley end) with nearly 1m of pipe over it; be very careful though it has alot of tension and the pipe can slip easily.
When facing the engine from the front of the car you need to push in an anti-clockwise direction.
