According to man-page of syslog.conf the name of facility is "local0", 
but not "LOCAL0":
----
    The facility describes the part of the system generating the 
message, and
     is one of the following keywords: auth, authpriv, console, cron, 
daemon,
     ftp, kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, ntp, security, syslog, user, uucp and
     local0 through local7.
----

Also it might be that syslog do not create this file, try to create it 
by self:
# touch /var/log/pgsql
