Keep getting "does not match "

[brokentwig]

I have a complicated setup where I'm running WordPress in the /blog/
subfolder, and then Vanilla Forums 2 in the /forums/ folder under root.  The
config below works fine for almost all pages except all images under the
/blog/wp-content/gallery/ folder.  In the log I keep getting "/forum/" does
not match "/blog/wp-content/gallery/something_something...".  Shouldn't
"/blog/wp-content/....." be matched on the "location /" entry?  I have
confirmed the path is accurate for the images, so the try_files under the
main "locaton /" should catch it.  Any help would be appriciated:
