Django static files STATIC_ROOT vs STATICFILES_FINDERS

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or am I missing something but I've
created a very simple test environment and placed a single png file
within my static folder.

The file is being served fine when I set :
STATIC_ROOT = ''
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
'/Users/guynesher/Work/play/quicktest/testproj/static/',
)

however I'm geting a 404 error when I set it like this :
STATIC_ROOT = '/Users/guynesher/Work/play/quicktest/testproj/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
)

Based on the STATICFILES_DIRS comment (Additional locations of static
files) I expected I will only need to use it if I have multiple static
files directory which doesn't seem to be the case.

What am I missing here?
