GAE serves static files directly, and I don't think they end up in the location
that web2py expects. So the path that routes generates ends up being wrong.
When you access /cms/static/robots.txt, GAE is fetching it for you.
You need to add something like this to your app.yaml:
- url: /favicon.ico
static_files: applications/cms/static/favicon.ico
upload: applications/cms/static/favicon.ico
- url: /robots.txt
static_files: applications/cms/static/robots.txt
upload: applications/cms/static/robots.txt
