I guess you missed my response.  I suggested this a couple of days back.
Sadly I was in a hurry and could not provide precise instructions.  You
can achieve this using the enumitem package with the noitemsep option[1].

So inside Org all you need to do is add the following to the file header:

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{enumitem}

If you want this behaviour for all lists add the following:

#+LATEX_HEADER: \setlist{nolistsep}

If you only want to do this for a particular kind of list (say,
enumerate) add the following line instead:

\setenumerate{noitemsep}

To control this per-list you can do:

#+attr_latex: :options noitemsep
- Step 1
- Step 2
- Step 3

For more info on other options, see the documentation for enumitem
(`texdoc enumitem' or <http://ctan.org/pkg/enumitem>).

Hope this helps,
