It looks like one of your installation step is non-standard. There is an
easy workaround available but I would like to make sure that org-odt
auto-configures itself with minimal user intervention.

Please provide me information on 
- how you downloaded the Org (git? tar file? elpa?)
- how did you compile. Did you do a make? Did you change the Makefile at
  all?
- how did you install. Did you do a make install?
- What OS/Distrib are you using

Do you see debug messages from the org-odt module in the *Messages*
buffer. They will look something similar to this - one for schema files
and one for styles files.
