Possibly using "location ^~ /test/" would work?

http://nginx.org/r/location

You may want to rewrite to /test.php (with the leading slash), though.

Although, better might be to just fastcgi_pass directly, rather than
rewriting.

Something like (untested)

  location ^~ /test/ {
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/test.php;
    fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING q=$uri;
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
  }

although you would want to change the QUERY_STRING line to match what
you need; and you may need to switch the position of the "include",
depending on how your fastcgi server handles repeated params.

I suspect that it should be possible to do what you want to do there,
with a "try_files". But I do not know the details.

Good luck with it,
