Hey,
I've also notice one difference between my 8.1 instance and my 8.2 instance. I run a ps and on the 8.1 instance there is a 'stats buffer process' and in the 8.2 instance there is no 'stats buffer instance'
Does that give you anymore reasons as to why the autovacuum is not working?

How sure are you of that? Check pg_stat_all_tables to see if the
last_autovacuum column is changing.
