Hi there,

I have removed the various shell variables from the postgresql.conf 
file, cleaned out the data dir and started again. I can not see any 
errors in the postgresql log files in "data/pg_log". They simply report 
that Postgres was started up successfully, that's all. There are a few 
files created in "data/pg_xlog", some of which are copied over to the 
slave, but it seems some of them are not for some strange reason, 
perhaps an oddity with using "scp" for this procedure?

You are referring to the "master" log file, is this the same log file I 
am referring to, or is that is some different location?
