Hrmm.. I think the OP's syntax is correct, but he's probably using a version
older than 8.4, when support for per-table autovacuum_enabled was added.
On HEAD:
test=# CREATE TABLE foo (a int);
CREATE TABLE
test=# alter table foo SET ( autovacuum_enabled=false) ;
ALTER TABLE
test=# \d+ foo
Table "public.foo"
Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Description

a | integer | | plain |
Has OIDs: no
Options: autovacuum_enabled=false
