According to man-page of syslog.conf the name of facility is "local0",
but not "LOCAL0":
----
The facility describes the part of the system generating the message,
and
is one of the following keywords: auth, authpriv, console, cron,
daemon,
ftp, kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, ntp, security, syslog, user, uucp and
local0 through local7.
----

Also it might be that syslog do not create this file, try to create it
by self:
# touch /var/log/pgsql
