No air circulation.
Larry,
If you supply air to a room through a hot-air register, but you don't have a return-air path -- ideally a dedicated return-air grille and return-air duct from each room back to the furnace -- you end up pressurizing the room. That forces conditioned air into cracks in the ceiling and walls, leading to all kinds of problems.
