Well, the example I gave should be like this instead. I'm not sure what you are doing with the extra parenthesis in there:

.tcat {
border: 1px solid black;
    background: {vb:stylevar blockhead_background};
    color: {vb:stylevar blockhead_color};
    font: bold 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
    padding: 6px;
}
