That didn't change anything.

If I configure with:

location ~ myscript {
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/cgi.sock;
fastcgi_cache one;
fastcgi_cache_key unix:/tmp/cgi.sock.1$request_uri;
fastcgi_cache_valid 200 302 5m;
fastcgi_cache_valid 301 1d;
fastcgi_cache_valid any 5m;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_buffers 64 4k;
}

then files wind up in the cache. So I know the cache is configured and 
working.
