Too high thresholds?  All tables disabled in pg_autovacuum?  naptime set
too high?

I suggest you turn log_min_messages more verbose, to DEBUG2, and see if
there are any entries in there regarding autovacuum.  If it's running,
you would see it.  You would get a message after autovacuum_naptime
seconds.

How long is autovacuum_naptime anyway?
