same thing I thought

paint-not-sticking is very rarely the fault of the paint

I'd try a detergent (Pine Sol ? TSP-replacement?) and/or solvent
(Liquid Sandpaper TM or similar) cleaning,
then wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper.

Slightly possible, but unlikely,  the solvent in the new paint is
eating the old paint,
