I replaced a perfectly good bar with a new one when I had the same problem.  It wasn't until AFTER I threw the first bar away that I realized the problem was with the chain. 

I'll bet it's either you're favoring one side when sharpening or the rakers are different on each side. 

Good luck.

I bought a saw off Ebay once that had the links where they hit the bar on the chain wore off more on one side, that one took a while to figure out, chain went in the garbage.    Steve

Some times it just isn't worth the trouble to save a chain that others have messed up, or one that you seriously rocked out!
