Try adding this conditional to each location block *above* the  
fastcgipass stuff:

    location / {
        root   /var/www/site;

        if (-f $request_filename) {
          break;
        }

        fastcgi_pass    ...
        fastcgi_index   index.php;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_NAME      $document_root 
$fastcgi_script_name;
        ...
    }
