I verified that it was not doing anything by erasing the pg_statistics table and it did not fill it within 24 hours.
WhenI ran vacuum analyze manually it filled it in.
I am using postgresql 8.03 on gentoo which was downloaded with portage and included pg_autovacuum as part of the set
up.
I will try setting the debug output to see if that gives me any more information.
Thank You
Sim
