I ran into this problem with running my django App on Heroku and using Rackspace CDN. My static file settings were all set to use rackspace CDN to share files

• the solution was to use normal static file serving for the specific tinymce files:

  class Media:
  js = [
      '/static/grappelli/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js',
      '/static/grappelli/tinymce_setup/tinymce_setup.js',
  ]
  

In my url conf:

urlpatterns += patterns('',
    url(r'^static/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {
        'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT,
    }),

)

The static.serve function allows you to serve static files outside of your standard static settings. You can change static in url conf to whatever you want.
