I have found the source of the problem. When running the built in dev server, I used the command "python manage.py testserver". This command seems to create a new database, with no user records, and run the server using that. This means that loging in is impossible as there are no users to log in as. Running the command "python manage.py runserver" uses the database created when you run "python manage.py syncdb" and create a superuser, so you can login successfully.
