You have to define the "fastcgi_pass" directive in both locations
for this to work.

And, as Cliff already suggested, you don't really need nested
locations here, it's better to define exact location for
/css.php, i.e. something like this:

location = /css.php {
expires 30d;
fastcgi_pass ...
...
}

location ~ \.php$ {
expires epoch;
fastcgi_pass ...
...
}
