collectstatic does not collect djangular static files

[simondrabble]

./manage.py collectstatic results in no djangular files being copied over - I had to copy them manually. This is under django 1.8 (and TBH it might be an issue with django).

django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder is in the relevant place in settings.

I've tested this with 1.8 and 1.9 without issues. Are you sure the apps you're trying to collectstatic on are in your INSTALLED_APPS?
