Reporting back, after reducing the values, the table has been picked up 
for both autovacuum and analyze. Thank you for the immediate feedback!

Since I had spent some time looking into these values and was "certain" 
that they were % while they are apparently *not*,  I'm wondering if 
max_val=100 is there because of historical reasons, and if it would make 
sense to change it to 1.
