Ok I have read a few different posts about users having problems with CSS HOOKS and let me start
off by saying yes I did clear my cache and I do not have any add ons installed This is a fresh
install with only template hook changes.
Here is what I did to create my hook:
[list=1]
[]I created the file styles.post.tpl in addons/my_changes/hooks/index/. I have added code to this file
referring to local_styles.css.
[]Cleared cache
[*]Refreshed storefront and viewed source looking for reference to local_styles.
[/list]
There is no reference anywhere to local_styles. I know my_changes is working because I can see
footer.post, and scripts.post were a success.
Does anyone have any clue what may be wrong?

A link to your site might be helpful for diagnostics 
.
You seem to be following the proper steps so it’s really hard to tell.
What code do you have in the styles.post.tpl file ? also what folder did you put the CSS file into ?
hbtrading is asking all the right questions.
Sure you don't have a syntactic error in whatever you have in your styles.post.tpl. I've never experienced a problem.
Another thing to verify is that if you have more then the basic skin installed that you have your styles.post.tpl in the proper skin folder (or if it's an admin, that it is in the basic skin).
