There is unfortunately a typo here... \usePackage is not a valid LaTeX  
command. It should be \usepackage, hence the errors seen when you try  
to run....

....and in particular, the first error message in your log:

> Package: mystyle
> ! Undefined control sequence.

....though I believe \RequirePackage would be a better choice, in case  
fontspec has already been loaded.

In fact, earlier in the log we see that the fontspec package *was*  
already loaded; it looks like your dblatex job is loading fontspec and  
then using it to select DejaVu fonts. So there's no need to load  
fontspec here, you can simply reset the font with \setmainfont{......}  
and you should be good to go.

There are subsequent error messages related to hyperlinks, etc., which  
I don't know anything about; perhaps there are other things you need  
to include in such a "style" to keep dblatex happy. Maybe you can  
locate the default dblatex style (which presumably includes the  
command \setmainfont{DejaVu Serif}, etc) and model yours on that.
