Rewrite

[thinkbot]

Hello,

I wanted to rewrite this url

rss.xml?type=popular&cid=8 
to
/cache/rss/popular_8.xml

so I wrote

                location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|xml)$ {
                        root /home/site/public_html;
                        access_log      off;
                        expires      30d;

                        rewrite ^rss\.xml?type=popular&cid=(.*)$ /cache/rss/popular_8.xml break;
                }

But it doesn't work :/ 
Can anyone help me out with this ? let me know what I'm doing wrong
