The idler pulley looked OK and did not have any excess play in it so I did not raplace it. Maybe I should just to rule that out? Is there anything else that I should look at replacing that may be causing this noise?

I would replace the idler pulley and it would seem to be the likely source given what else you have done. You cannot determine its condition by inspection, it can look good but still make noise. Let us know how it works out.
