Have you over tightened them?
You are meant to tighten them up to a torque and then back then off ever so slightly from memory before fitting the split pin.

2 things as already said
1.Make sure you use loads of grease
2.Make sure you follow the correct tightening up procedure.
Unless the bearings are made in darkest china out of recycled coke cans they should do 20,000 miles at least

sorry to hijack but i got the same problem.
i only done 700 miles on the rear one i changed and its is not allowing the wheel to spin freely now. took the drum round my mates garage and got him to do it, all done proper. all i can think of is i over tightened the drum to the hub? i didnt know what the torque setting was so just done it till it felt secure.

Are you packing the bearing with grease before installation? You should force grease into the bearing buy pushing it in through the rollers with your fingers. It should be full of grease.
