It's possible that your braking system's actuator cable is a little too tight, you might want to try a little more slack. It's a trial and error process and the Subaru may require more slack than the installation manual specifies.
Here's a related thread on IRV2.com:

One other thing, before you tow, always make sure the toad's parking brake is "off". Better yet, have your copilot make sure all four wheels are turning as you start to move. I shredded a tire during my first test tow. Fortunately I was close to home, and my spare was in good shape. Thanks to my fellow motorists who saw the smoke and honked at me, it didn't do any other damage. I never felt a thing.
