Currenty, there are no .ready files in the pg_xlog/archive_status file.
Like I mentioned, the db server was stoped and restarted on 9/5 am, but the oldest unarchived log file is:
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 16M Sep 1 04:04 0000000100000197000000F1
I'm not sure what is going on, since the db was stopped and restarted, there should be no hanging transactions. I would have believed all of the archive files from before the reboot would have been archived by now.
Let me know if I can provide you with further information. This is my development/non-production db server, so I do have a little bit of lattitude on what I do with it.

Good question. The trace shows the archiver scanning pg_xlog/archive_status/
and apparently not finding any .ready files. What do you see in that
directory?
