As long as it continues to log after you start PostgreSQL with the
file already in existence, I guess that's not it.  You did try a stop
and a start, and ensure logging still works?

Perhaps you somehow deleted the file while PostgreSQL was still
running?  It would still be linked to the old copy, and would happily
write to it even though you couldn't see it....

Just brainstorming....
