Nginx rewrite all directory requests to index.php - redirect

Question

Okay I'm kind of n00b on Nginx, and I've browsed through here and couldn't piece together an answer. SO here is what i got
server {
root /usr/share/nginx/www;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name localhost;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to index.html
if (-f $request_filename) {
expires 30d;
break;
}
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
}
}
location /dojump {
rewrite ^/dojump/(.*)$ /dojump/index.php/$1 break;
}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
location ~ \.php(.*)$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
This is on a wordpress setup the first location block should pass all file requests to the wordpress bootstrap.
the location /dojump block is supposed to be for an outbound redirect script i have. I want to catch the arguments and pass them to the index.php script
like /dojump/cnn.com
to /dojump/index.php/cnn.com
it works with apache with this simple .htaccess line inside the dojumps folder
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
however, I get an nginx error in the error log
/usr/share/nginx/www/dojump/index.php/cnn.com" failed (20: Not a directory)
Any help?
Thanks

Try passing the url as a GET parameter.
rewrite ^/dojump/(.*)$ /dojump/index.php?url=$1 break;
