Silly question:
Did you bleed out the o2 in the keg before shaking it? I didn't for my first few kegs: I'd fill them with beer, put on the lid, attach my co2 and shake. I didn't have any problems but I still realized I should probably leave the relief valve open for a bit so the co2 can force out the air in there.
Sort of a longshot, but it could save you a trip to the store. Another way would be to get a carbonator cap (or make one) and carb up a 20oz Pepsi bottle of your next batch. If it goes bad, you're only out 20oz. Yeah you have to pay for the cap, but those things are pretty handy.
