Handling a nested controller in a Rails3 route matcher

I am writing a custom matcher in routes.rb. I wish to map a dynamic segment to a nested params hash. I cannot seem to determine how to pass the value of the dynamic segment to a nested hash.

The code that I have is:

    get "(/:path)/:pars",       :action => :create,       :controller => :customs_shipment_pars_checks,       :ca_customs_manifest => { :ccdn => :pars }

This passes params[:ca_customs_manifest][:ccdn] == :pars # a symbol and params[:pars] == "somevalue"

changing the last line to:

      :ca_customs_manifest => { :ccdn => %(pars) }

This passes params[:ca_customs_manifest][:ccdn] == pars # a string and params[:pars] == "somevalue"

What I wish to do is to pass the dynamically assigned value of :pars to the nested hash. How is this done?
