You need to change:

- location ~ ^/(galleries|poll|news)/ {
+ location ~ ^/(galleries|poll|news)(/|$) {

because otherwise nginx handles /galleries, etc. as local files.

Then probably you need to set PATH_INFO:

   location ~ ^/(galleries|poll|news)(/|$) {
       set  $path_info  "";
       if ($uri ~ ^/[^/]+(/.+)) {
           set  $path_info  $1;
       }

       fastcgi_pass ...
       fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO $path_info;
       ...
   }
