We are doing quite a bit of remodeling in our house including new
countertops, redoing the hard wood floor, and painting the kitchen
cabinets.

Our Benjamin Moore dealer likes to tell us that BM [Satin Finish]
Impervo doesn't require additives but we often amend it anyway with a
product called Penetrol to help level the paint. It only takes a capful or
two per quart. Read the label directions if you opt to use it.
I'm not sure that the Bullseye Primer was your best choice either. Is
that a pigmented shellac like KILZ or Zinser?
A final question: Have you removed the doors and laid them flat for
painting? I've found that it always produces better leveling. Don't roll
and roll and roll either. The more you work the paint the more likely you
are to leave brush marks.
Leon is on the money with the hotdog style rollers, we've had good
success rolling slab doors and cabinet doors with them.
Still, nothing beats a spray finish in my book.

Thanks for your reply Dave, very informative. I've been thinking of
using that exact same product to thin the pait and I'll pick it up
when I go to Home Depot. I'm pretty sure that Bullseye is a Zinser
product; so yes I think. Unfortunately I think your right about it
being inferior and I should have went with a BM primer but it's too
late for that. Zinser was recommended by the local DIY store and by
Home Depot; though I usually don't trust too many recommendations from
Home Depot. I'll pick up some of those hotdog rollers too. Oh, and
yes we do have them taken down and laid flat.
