My guess is the campy chain won't work with the Shimano cassette next. But don't worry, I think Action Tec makes a Titanium Shimano freehub body to Campy index spacing cassette for like 856 bucks. I think the mechanic that told you everything would work together just fine lied to you.
I had a feeling that the chains might not be compatible so I checked the width of the chains. The shimano chain is a little wider than the campy ultra narrow 10 speed chain that pbk has so the chain should be just fine.
I think the next thing this bike is going to get is a campy rear wheel, cassette, and chain so I can put an end to this nightmare!
Edit: I would try taking it to the shop except that the crankset has already been pulled off in order for it to be sent to performance for an exchange.
As a side note, I just put my cannondale on the trainer and was instantly amazed at how weird I felt on it. Something just didn't feel right on the bike. I felt like I might have been too stretched out, I don't know, but the trek just felt so much more 'right'. This is messed up... Hahaha.
