Actually there is a bug in your CSS file which is the reason it’s not picking up the bp-default as the parent.

In your child theme’s style.css you have:

@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/style.css );

This should be:

/* Inherit the default theme styles */

@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css );



/* Inherit the admin bar styles */

@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css );

This was totally my fault, and was a mistake in the writeup of how to do it. If you do it this way, you can simply add your style overrides in style.css below those two lines.
