I generally would not put your storage directory in your python lib

Ah, OK. The fact you get a 404 suggests you haven't actually enabled
the plugin (other config issues would lead to a worse error I think).

Can you check that you have added 'storage' to your ckan.plugins
config option so it looks like

ckan.plugins = ... storage ...
