If your css file is locatedr in your staticfiles dir, you should use something such as {{ STATIC_URL }}main.css, assuming your CSS file is called main and is located in one of the STATIC_DIRS.
Using staticfiles_dirs in a template makes no sense. Not only your are passing a parameter that has to do with your system configuration and not your urls, but you are also using a directory instead of a file. In short, it is the static_url parameter that should be passed to form a URL.
