Try pleating the leader:

The first time I thought I just loaded it wrong, the second time I kicked
myself for not watching the crank knob, the third time it just made me sick.
In shooting 6 36exp. rolls of film 3 of them didn't wind.  The film was
placed in perfectly the film advance felt normal but the film just didn't
move (and the rewind crank doesn't move). After I open the back glare at
it's innards and close it (without touching the film) it will wind
perfectly.  I haven't heard of this happening before.  My film advance feels
and sounds normal and the film leader isn't slipping out of its tongs but it
just doesn't wind around the spool.
