Nginx seems to ignore proxy_set_header Host directive

Hi all
I am trying to use nginx to get remote access to various service on my home
server, via proxy_pass redirection to various subdirectorys
For example, owncloud server with apache, pyload with it's builtin http
server, xbmc web interface, ...
I access the webserver via a static IP adress, and not via a domain name.
Here's a simple conf file for nginx. 
########################################################
server {
 listen 80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
 root /hdd/www;
 index index.html index.htm;
 server_name localhost;
 location /pyload/ {
 proxy_redirect off;
 proxy_set_header Host $host;
 proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
 proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
 proxy_pass http://192.168.1.100:8001/;
 }
}
########################################################
I think this setup would be straighforward, but for some reason, all
relative path are not rewriten and I get 502 error for all images, css and
js file.
I would be very grateful if someone had a clue to help me understanding what
I am doing wrong.
Regards
