What happens when you run collectstatic? If I recall correctly, one of the differences between "DEBUG = False" and "DEBUG = True" is that the former will use static files from Mezzanine's codebase and the latter will search for static files in your project folders. The collectstatic command will show you where the files are being pulled from and where they are being put. Then you can tell if your static files settings match up with what Mezzanine expects. That might at least give you more information.
