May I know how you have installed Org on your machine? Is it ELPA or
make <something>?

Do this: M-x locate-library RET org-odt RET

Note the directory reported. (Make sure that it is the along the
expected lines. If this is not the case, you may have to remove the old
installation.)

For things to work properly, org-odt-styles-dir should be
<dir-reported-above>/../etc/styles/*.xml.

Note that copying by hand shouldn't be necessary nor should you set the
org-odt-styles-dir explicitly by hand. Everything should happen
auto-magically.
