Custom post type rewrite rules on nginx

I have set up the wootheme “Estate” and WordPress 3.0.1
Here is the link to the site.
https://estate.feedmydemo.co.za/

It is currently running on an nginx server. Currently the custom post types do not work, they return a 404 error page.

Archive Page – https://estate.feedmydemo.co.za/location/boland/
Single Post – https://estate.feedmydemo.co.za/property/deluxe-view/

I have done some debugging and found that none of the rewrite rules are being added in. ( I printed out the $wp_rewrite global var, and the permalinks are set to a custom structure of “/%postname%/”)

I installed the theme on my home machine running wampserver2. Below are the two links for the rewrite rules (excuse the format)
Local: https://estate.feedmydemo.co.za/local-rewrite-rules/
Live: https://estate.feedmydemo.co.za/live-rewrite-rules/

What I need help with is figuring out how to get the rewrite rules to be added/updated on an nginx server.
