I don't know how you can change the camshafts alignment without removing the belt.
You never loosened the center bolt on the camshaft gears, right?
And the tensioner is working properly?
Can you see the small marks on the crankshaft gear well enough to align them correctly?

I just got done with a camshaft seal / timing belt replacement on an '01 S40 which I think is similar, less the variable valve timing (VVT). So it should be pretty straightforward.

Just whatever you do, be sure to turn the engine over by hand a few revolutions after installing the timing belt. This is to make sure that you don't have a piston hitting a valve.
