what are you using as a 5th line. The leader should be some 3-4mm woven coreless spectra or dyneema. If its just sheethed spectra core rope it will wear very quickly.

Just get yourself some hydro-line or similar and use that as the bottom bit if your 5th line. I retro-fitted all my 2004 kites with home-made 5th lines and that's what I've had to do to stop the same problem you're having.
