Make sure you have stats collector enabled, if auto vacuum is doing the analyze and vacuum it should be recording that info in this view. For details on this you can have a look at --> http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/monitoring-stats.html

Just for a test try doing a VACUUM or ANALYZE manually and see if that gets updated in the last_vacuum of pg_stats_all_tables.

select last_autovacuum, last_autoanalyze from pg_stat_all_tables;
  last_autovacuum | last_autoanalyze

Does that mean it's working or not configured right?
