Looking in Apache's plist, I see

        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
                <string>/usr/sbin/httpd</string>
                <string>-D</string>
                <string>FOREGROUND</string>
        </array>

Probably you need to set "daemon off;" in nginx.conf.

BTW, upgrade to 0.7.8 if you are using case insensitive HFS+,
and do not use UTF-8 strings in locations.
