gah..my fault was really stupid.
forgot to set the path to my css files correctly.
wrong way:
<link href="stylesheets/sIFR-screen.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link href="stylesheets/sIFR-print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
right way:
<link href="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/stylesheets/sIFR-screen.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link href="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/stylesheets/sIFR-print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
