It's allowed in http, server, if in server, location, if in location 
contexts.

With the following config

    error_log  /path/to/error_log  notice;
    rewrite_log on;

    server {
        listen 8080;
        server_name zzz;
        rewrite ^ /blah break;
    }

you should see something like this in error_log:

2009/12/10 15:50:19 [notice] 12343#0: *1 "^" matches "/", client: 127.0.0.1, server: zzz, request: "GET / HTTP/1.0"
2009/12/10 15:50:19 [notice] 12343#0: *1 rewritten data: "/blah", args: "", client: 127.0.0.1, server: zzz, request: "GET / HTTP/1.0"

If you don't see such messages - either you have no rewrites 
defined in matching server{} block, or your set logging level 
higher than notice.
