I don't think you mentioned previously that they were .sccs files,
unless I missed it.  I thought they were simple css files.  I have not
played with sass yet.

The files when they are created are as .css.scss files. I am not using sass (at least not knowingly). I have other apps where I have written valid css in a .css.scss file and it has rendered fine. So I didn't think mentioning the file extension in the beginning made a difference. Sorry for that omission. But I can also say that I have removed the .scss extension  just to see if that made a difference and I still have the same issue of my css not rendering. :( 

It looks like doing a direct link to the stylesheet that I am trying to include also doesn't work. For instance, the following code also does not show any of the css.

app/views/layouts/application.html.erb

<%= stylesheet_link_tag    "users" %>

<div id='user_nav'>

<% if current_user %>

<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_user_path(:current) %> | 

<%= link_to 'Logout', logout_path %>

<% else %>

<%= link_to 'Register', new_user_path %> | 

<%= link_to 'Login', login_path %>

<% end %>

</div>

app/assets/stylesheets/users.css.scss

#user_nav{

float: right;

font-size: 12px;

}

Anyone else?
