Well, there two possible reasons for the static mesh not receiving light that I know of.

1. Make sure your light has DTS Objects enabled. To check this- go into the light editor under lighting tools. Then select the light your using and then just make sure the DTS Objects box is checked.

2. Make sure your DTS object itself is set up to receive light. To check this- select your object while in the world editor inspector(F3). Then scroll down on the right side to the lighting menu. there are little check boxes. Depending on your lighting and what type of ambient light you want on your mesh, select the corresponding boxes.(And set the custom ambient light if you want)

These are the only two reasons I know of why the mesh isn't receiving light. Hopefully this helps...
