Generally this issue is caused when vBulletin can't write to the css folder; try chmoding it to 0777 and then toggle the setting off (view a page) then back on.
The permissions depend on what sapi you're using with PHP also. If you're using CGI or FastCGI, you can tighten permissions down a bit more to 755. If you're using PHP as a dso (mod_php) you'll need to use 777 (and should look into another sapi for the security).
As for including the styles on another page if you include global.php and use vBulletin to power your other pages (home page for the forums, custom portal, whatever) it would be taken care of for you. If you just want to link to the CSS, I'm honestly not sure how you would accomplish that, as yes, the stylesheets are dynamic and the names change from what I've noticed on my forums.
Dang, never thought of that! That's a great idea. So close to getting this working now. Only problem is that some of my pages aren't in the root directory so the CSS link doesn't work.

So close!
My first thought would be to make a symlink, but that's a kludge. My second though it is using str_replace on either $headinclude or $output, but I'm thinking there is a better way.
A quick search gave me this thread which led to this. Then, I saw a plugin at the bottom of the thread. Hope that helps some.
