The declaration of styles_dir seems to be the problematic part that produces
the unwanted whitespace including the linebreak.
I'm not absolutely sure why $styles_dir contains a linebreak,
(imho a linebreak should occur after styles and any whitespace between
<xsl:variable> and <xsl:copy-of> would be stripped), 
but the declaration with xsl:copy-of is unusual anyway.

<xsl:variable name="styles_dir" select="concat($rootdir,'/styles')" />
would avoid any unwanted whitespace in styles_dir.
