This might be simple and related to the fact that I have been working
way too many hours in the last 4 weeks.
If it is, please forgive.

We have:

rewrite ^/$ /admin;

which is then handled by:

location /
{
index index.html index.htm;
try_files $uri $uri/ @seaside;
error_page 403 = @seaside;
}

location @seaside
{
proxy_pass http://gemstone;
}

upstream gemstone
{
server 127.0.0.1:8080;
}

Urls after the first /

appear as

hostname/admin

want it to just be

hostname/

but cant get.

have tried:

proxy_redirect http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/ /;
proxy_redirect http://gemstone:8080/admin/ /;
proxy_redirect http://gemstone/admin/ /;

and none work.

have done many times in the bygone days in apache but never
in nginx. can someone point out what i'm doing wrong?
