What might help is to add some print statements in your settings.py
These are some of mine ...

import os
import sys

if 'runserver' in sys.argv:
DEBUG = True

# This gets the name of the directory above the settings.py directory
# which is necessary if you follow the Django 1.4 guidelines
APP_ROOT = os.path.split(os.path.realpath(os.path.dirname(__file__)))[0]

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(APP_ROOT, 'static/'),
os.path.join(APP_ROOT, 'app_a/static/'),
os.path.join(APP_ROOT, 'app_b/static/'),
os.path.join(APP_ROOT, 'app_b/static/'),
)
if DEBUG:
i = 0
for item in STATICFILES_DIRS:
i += 1
print('STATICFILES_DIRS#%s = %s' % (i, item ))

You will get a constant reminder of where things are and if compare that
output with the location indicated in the html page source, you will be
able to diagnose the problem fairly easily.
