There's no log messages (at the default log verbosity anyway).  But you
could look into the pg_stat views for the last vacuum time for each table.

It looks like it IS being run.

Now the problem is, what's going on?  Maybe running out of fsm_map entries?  Hmnmmmmm..... vacuum full fixes it, which I assume reclaims those, yes?  I wonder if increasing that quite radically (I have lots of server RAM and SYSV SHM has been cranked wide) would take care of it....
