Just for clarity, I had the same issue. What's interesting is that the css ~was~ loading because I could adjust values within index_home.css and they worked - just not the white space when nav was turned off. "Reloading" the css as per code insert fixed it.

I use the most of the cherry_zen template for the record.

A KISS method of fixing it would be to copy all content of index_home.css and paste it into your stylesheet.css - if you're OK with loading the extra (unnecessary) line of css throughout the site.

Another way would be to add the following to your includes/templates/RI_TEMPLATE_07/templates/zx_slideshow.php as the first line:
Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo($template->get_template_dir('index_home.css',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'css'). '/index_home.css'); ?>" media="screen" />
