BROKEN: Classipress 3.2 Child Theme Tutorial results in a broken theme

Following the instructions in teh Classipress Child Theme tutorial step by step results in a broken theme. The default theme still overrides what is asked of it even when the "disable core stylesheet" is selected.

If I try to activate this child theme:
/*
Theme Name: ClassiPress - Child Theme
Theme URI: http://website.com
Description: Child Theme for ClassiPress
Author: Me
Author URI: http://website.com
Template: classipress
Version: 3.2
*/

@import url("../classipress/style.css");
@import url("../classipress/styles/red.css");

.featured .post-block {
background: #FFFFE0;
}
.post-block-out.featured {
border: 1px solid #E6DB55;
}

I should in theory get the main style as well as all the styling of the red.css


Here is what I DO get:

As you can see, the header background is gone/messed up. It brings in "green" font and buttons. and the "Home | Categories | Blog | pages..." are missing out of the header.
Even more wierd is that when I click POST AD, it grabs images from my deactivated CP 3.1.5 version in a separate folder ( as seen by the custom colors on the progress bar).

Seems to me, some changes to 3.2 are needed to make it more user friendly.

Any thoughts on whats going on here? I'm stuck using a working version of CP 3.1.5 in the meantime.
