Well, that looks reasonable. You might try strace'ing that process
while you do something that's certain to provoke a log entry
(maybe "SELECT 1/0;" in a psql session).
The only likely problem that I can think of at this point is that
SELinux might think the process shouldn't be allowed to write in
/var/log/postgres/, but I don't know why that would have just suddenly
started to be a problem after working before. Unless maybe someone
did a system-wide restorecon or some such.
