Jeremy, my site is down right now because of some issues with kid, but I had an idea. Have you tried setting staticFilter.dir to include the tg_fastcgi.fcgi term in the path in your config file?
example: "staticFilter.dir" : "/home/doofus/projectdir/tg_fastcgi.fcgi/projectdir/static" I'd like to test it, but such is life when you want the cutting edge.
