If pg_standby is used, standby_mode must be set to off. Otherwise,
as you observed, the trigger file cannot promote the standby.

In 9.0, pg_standby doesn't remove the trigger file automatically,
so if you want that, you need to set recovery_end_command to
the command which removes the trigger file.
