I have been under the impression that especially for digital sensors
you need to have a circular polarizing filter. Ah, you may ask, Why?

I don't know. I know that they work with my 10D and 1Ds and also work with 
film.

I sorta Googled around and discovered that most requirements for
circular polarization come because of tthe viewfinder optics.

So I guess I just rambled along and now can't explain what you have 
experienced.
