I have a feeling that you may be taking the wrong approach... there is
no need to use these subfolders for each storefront any more.

Each separate storefront has an unique type / code pair, which needs to
be passed to Magento to identify the site you're using. I find the
simplest way to set it up is to map a couple of variables:

Here's a completely untested example which should ensure that the right
storefront is used... nothing else necessary

map $request_uri $mage_type {
default store;
~^/site1 website;
~^/site2 website;

}

map $request_uri $mage_code {
default default;
~^/site1 site1;
~^/site2 site2;
}

And then your php block would be...

location ~ \.php$ {
add_header X-UA-Compatible 'IE=Edge,chrome=1';
try_files $uri =404; expires off;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT 80;
fastcgi_param HTTPS $fastcgi_https;
fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_CODE $mage_code;
fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_TYPE $mage_type;
}
