nginx rewrite expression dilemma

[technoplague]

Hi,

Having following apache config working: 

=========================================================

    <Directory /data/www/dev/domain.com/cf/htdocs/get>
        Options FollowSymlinks
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/]+)$ index.php?contid=$1 [L]
    </Directory>

=========================================================

Rewrite works properly, when pointing to domain.com/get/aa/bb

I can't get this working properly in nginx using the following config:
When I enter URL that works in apache, nginx returns with 404. 

=========================================================
upstream cf-domain {

        server unix:/data/www/dev/domain.com/cf/cf-domain.sock;
}


server {
        listen 62.236.108.22:80;
        listen 127.0.0.1:28005;
        server_name cfdev.domain.com;
        access_log
/data/www/dev/domain.com/cf/logs/frontend/access.log;
        error_log /data/www/dev/domain.com/cf/logs/frontend/error.log;

        charset utf-8;

        location ~ ^/get/ {
                rewrite ^([^/\.]+)/([^/]+)$ index.php?contid=$1 last;
                fastcgi_pass cf-domain;
        }

        location / {
                root /data/www/dev/domain.com/cf/htdocs;
                index index.php index.html;

                if ($request_uri ~* "\.(ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$") {
                        expires max;
                }

                if (!-f $request_filename) {
                        rewrite  ^/(.*)$  /index.php?q=$1  last;
                        break;
                }
        }

        location ~ (\.php)$ {
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
/data/www/dev/domain.com/cf/htdocs$fastcgi_script_name;
                fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
                include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_pass cf-domain;
        }

        error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
            root html;
        }
}

=========================================================

I suspect I need to amend processing order or rewrite, but can't seem to
find the right way. Can you please help me to find where the error is?
