The best thing to felt your roof with is a high grade 38kg nylon backed mineral felt. It's not cheap but in the long run it will pay for itself.

Silly question but did you remove the exsiting felt before your relayed the new felt? Also did you use felt nails (these are short stubby nails designed to just peirce the felt and not go all the way through the timber).
