SD15 - Motion blur with strobes?

I did some studio shots recently with my new (to me) SD15 and trusty Bowens Travelite 750 strobes. To my surprise many of them had slight to moderate motion blur. To confirm, I killed the modeling lights, darkened the studio, and shot a target using the same settings. Jarring the camera slightly while tripping the shutter gave me blurred images. What could be going on? I've shot a lot with my Olympus E-520 and never had this issue before. My SD15 lens is an older Sigma 28-80 zoom that came with an SA-9 that I bought used. It's an electronic autofocus lens. I don't have the steadiest hand, but I'm not a trembling mess either. I do plenty of handheld stuff using film, down to 1/30. Ideas?
