thanks!
You can use the command-line tool instead. I do this to add boldface css to news I downloand.
If you are using a windows machine, you can create a .bat file whose content is something like this (I've copied from one I use, you need to change the locations and such and put your css into a file; you also need to change ".epub" to ".lrf" and you probably should use instead an actual file name, like "C:\My Documents\Mine.lfr"):

"C:\Program Files\Calibre\ebook-convert.exe" "The Economist (free).recipe" ".epub" --extra-css="C:\Documents and Settings\Steve\My Documents\My Dropbox\ArialBold.css"

If you want automatic download, you can use Window's task scheduler to run this file daily.
I then just add this to my ereader manually. I think you could use the command line interface to add it to the Calibre library and have Calibre do the transfer to the ereader, but I don't know how.
