Regexes with curly braces have to be quoted.

From the wiki: http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpRewriteModule#rewrite

     Note: for curly braces ('{' and '}'), as they are used both in
     regexes and for block control, to avoid conflicts, regexes with
     curly braces are to be enclosed with double quotes (or single
     quotes). For example, to rewrite URLs like

     rewrite  "/photos/([0-9] {2})([0-9] {2})([0-9] {2})" /path/to/photos/$1/$1$2/$1$2$3.png;
