Hi everyone,
As I said in the other post, I'd like to try and give my contribution if I can.
For me the most logical explanation for the girdle not working anymore is the presence of the cursed hoard on which Glaurung (in which a good part of the power of Morgoth has been spent) as slept on the treasure for so long... it makes him a powerful enemy even from dead...
The combiened curses of the dragon and of Mim, triggered by evil (the blood of elves and men spilled on the treasure) in a way activate the curse or increase its power...
