Well, there is your problem!  If there is low friction at the bearing 
points, it is almost impossible to get a note to stay put, as there is nothing to 
keep the string from moving back and forth under the force of heavy 
playing. 
  You may want to take a cotton ball, soaked in acetone, and lightly dab it 
on the string contact points.  This will remove any lube and create a small 
amount of micro-corrosion that will help keep the string where you put it.
