They saw their own nakedness and were ashamed because they had eaten from the tree of knowledge and therefore recognized their nakedness for what it was - nakedness. Without knowledge there was no shame. Covering up with the fig leaves tipped God off to the fact that they had eaten from the tree, and thus was the trigger for His royal piss-off.
Interestingly, I seem to recall that God kicked them out saying "now that they've eaten of the tree of knowledge, what if they eat of the tree of life, because then they'll be like gods themselves."
