Can you identify the exact urls of the style sheets that do not respond
the way you want?

Can you tell where the strange-looking URLs come from -- nginx config
or phpbb config or something else?

So, if the url includes any of those strings, it is denied.

If the url ends in one of those strings, it should be served directly
from /var/www/sites/obfuscated_forum.

Does that include your style sheet url?

Is the matching file present?

If the url ends in .php, it gets sent to the fastcgi server.

The repeated /index.php looks odd. Did you type that? Or did something link to it?

What do the nginx log files say about the CSS stylesheet and images requests?

http://wiki.nginx.org/Configuration links to a suggested config file for phpBB3.

It is not identical to what you have here.
