Tire/Tube Issue

I'm having a problem since I started using new tires.
Am riding a hybrid and since I only ride asphalt, I changed out the tires from 700x38 knobbys to 700x32 Panaracer Tserve Pt. Had them put on with new Bontrager tubes by a local well known bike shop in Austin. (They recommended these tires for my wheels which are 622 x 18)
Here's the problem: At 8.5 miles the front developed a hole in the tube which was replaced by the bike shop the same day. Another 4 miles later the rear developed a hole in the tube which I replaced. Another 6 miles later the rear again has developed a hole in the tube. Three tubes in under 20 miles, while before I switched out the tires I had ridden almost 1000 miles without a flat. All tubes (with these new tires) are Bontrager 700 x 28 to 32.
Question: Has anyone had problems with either Panaracer Tserve tires or Bontrager tubes? I'd rather be riding than being sidelined with flats.
