hahaha, i just had the same problem, you need to take the tensioner apart, and youll see that on the silver peice there is 2 holes to put the spring into, if you put in into the other hole on the silver peice, it will allow the tensioner to move all the way to the frame, aswell as holding that U lock ring inplace, then just take out a few links and your good to go. The Problem with yours is that the chain isnt ingaging on enough of the links on the cog on your rear wheel.

those tensoners suck, trust me, ive messed around for one for a while but they screw up way to often, heres my advice, try taking enough links out so its tight enought without a tensoner, if you cant with that chain, get a spram chain instead of the shimano one and take enough links out so its tight, theres just enough of a diffrence with the sizes that if one doesnt work the other will, well at least thats what happened with mine.
