For those that don't know, the "secret" to identifying Pozi screws is that there will be small "tick" marks between the "points" of the cross (the part that looks like a Phillips). I had trouble getting the screw to hold in place on the end of my screw driver, then I noticed the Pozi marks. I got a Pozi bit, and it fit perfectly. The other difference between Phillips and Pozi is that the angle on the tip of a Pozi is "flatter" than a Phillips - the result is that if you use a Phillips on a Pozi screw, the point bottoms out in the recess before the blade makes good contact with the rest of the "cross" (the Phillips blade is designed to stick into the "hole" farther than a Pozi).
Here's a diagram of the the two:
