New chains skipping on used freewheels or cassettes is very common. It would have been helpful if you had checked the old chain for stretch. A stretched chain is a predictor for worn sprockets.
Another factor that would indicate it's a new chain/worn sprocket issue is if the skipping was on the sprockets you tend to use the most.
