Don't use the -S switch (the second one, not the one inside -o).

Looking in postmaster.c, I see that causes it to redirect stdout/stderr
to /dev/null (probably not too hot an idea, but that's doubtless been
like that for a *long* time). Instead launch with something like

nohup postmaster switches... </dev/null >logfile 2>errfile &

Good luck figuring out where the real problem is...
