Are you logging autovacuum actions? I.e. what is
log_autovacuum_min_duration
set to? It it's set to -1 you won't get any messages because of
conflicting locks or stuff like that, which might be the culprit here.
Also, when you're running the weekly VACUUM, do VACUUM (VERBOSE) and
post it here. That might at least help us eliminate some of the usual
suspects.
