Well, that certainly looks right. I'm back to suspecting selinux ...
have you tried "ls -Z"? I'm not totally sure about RHEL5, but in
recent Fedora it should look like
drwx------. postgres postgres unconfined_u:object_r:postgresql_db_t:s0 pg_xlog
the "postgresql_db_t" bit being the actually critical part.
