Auto-vacuum parameters (Postgres 8.2 on Windows Server 2003)

["Christian Leclerc" <cleclerc(at)ilog(dot)fr>]

Hello,

I thought I set up correctly the pg_autovacuum daemon on according to
the documentation available at the following URL:
 <http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/routine-vacuuming.html>
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/routine-vacuuming.html 
Please see below the parameters below set up in my postgresql.conf file.

But the following message is systematically displayed as soon as I
insert or update lots of rows in my tables when I browse my tables with
pgAdmin :
"Running VACUUM recommended
The estimated rowcount on the table
"sales_admin.maintenance_contract_lines" deviates significantly from the
actual rowcount. You should run VACUUM ANALYZE on this table.
Instead of issuing a manual VACUUM ANALYZE command on this table (you
can use the pgAdmin III maintenance menu for this), running VACUUM
ANALYZE on a regular or automated basis should be considered. This can
be achieved using a scheduler. PostgreSQL also supplies the
pg_autovacuum daemon, which will track changes made to the database and
issue vacuum commands as required automatically. In most cases,
pg_autovacuum will be the best choice"

What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Christian
