auto_vacuum question

We upgraded from postgres 7.4.5 to 8.2.5 a couple weekends ago. I just
turned auto vacuum on today.

I manually inserted 4 entries in PG_AUTOVACUUM with enabled = 'f' to exclude
these larger tables

That we manually vacuum every night. But the first tables that autovacuum
chooses to vacuum are

These 4 tables. Am I missing something?

Another, possibly related question: the 4 tables mentioned above are
vacuumed via a scheduled

Daemon that invokes the VACUUMDB shell. But the LAST_VACUUM column in
PG_STAT_USER_TABLES

Is not updated to reflect this vacuum. Other tables vacuumed manually
during the day do have this

LAST_VACUUM column updated. The autovacuum does populate the
LAST_AUTOVACUUM column

For these tables.

Any insights? Thanks
