Hm, what you describe above looks right.

No, that means the postmaster *doesn't* have pgaudit loaded.

The fact that CREATE EXTENSION worked implies that you've got the library
correctly built, so I think this must boil down to the
"shared_preload_libraries" setting not having taken. You could
cross-check that by seeing what "SHOW shared_preload_libraries"
prints.

I wonder if you forgot to remove the comment marker (#) on the
shared_preload_libraries line?
