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?
