All of the sudden getting TemplateDoesNotExist error

I have made no changes to settings.py. Honest.  I'm running Django 1.4.0 alpha. The variable TEMPLATE_DIRS is pointing to a folder which exists and the template 'directory.html' i wish to load in in that folder, /Users/rmschne/Documents/source/django/projects/socmgmt/templates/.  My ID has appropriate permissions (running on Mac OS/X). 

All of the sudden today (and it worked  a few days ago), I get "TemplateDoesNotExist" error.  This happens for any of the templates I try to load.

Frankly, I'm at a kinda loss as to where to start debugging this since everything looks ok and I don't recall making any changes that would be relevants.

Thoughts?
