well you're doing it wrong with the 9 speed chain, chains are not cross compatible like that above 7 speed. The more gears you have, the narrower the chain is as they are fitting 9, 10 or 11 cogs into the same space as 8.
an 8 speed chain may be a good place to start, your bike shop really should've known this..
