This is a sampling of the debug output.

Does that mean that it is vacuuming the databases?
One major reason that I think it is not, is that after a while the
system starts getting sluggish and when I run vacuum analyze then it
picks up again.
That leads me to believe that it is not running vacuum analyze.

I am using PG_Autovacuum with postgresql 8.01 and it doesn't seem to be
doing anything. I've seen it work on other machines where a log item is
entered each time a table is touched.
I tried starting it with pg_autovacumm -d 1 -U postgres
(I purposely didn't daemonize it because I wanted to see what it was
doing) and it showed that it was adding all the tables, but then it just
sat there for 2 hours without doing anything else.
The stats_collector and stats_row_level are both set to true.
Neither the postgresql.log file nor the pg_autovacuum.log file have
anything about it in them.
Try -d 2; it should give enough info to tell if it's at least checking
tables.
