Michel Talagrand has a number of open problems (with bounty) listed on his website. I haven't looked at them all, but knowing him, I guarantee you that they are very hard and quite important. These are motivated by his research directions, but unlike some fields, there's not one research direction and one set of open problems that dominate probability theory right now.
