That's my first inclination. If he says autovacuum is running, there's no way it should be bloating the table that much.

Felix, If you're running a version before 8.4, what is your max_fsm_pages setting? If it's too low, autovacuum won't save you, and your tables will continue to grow daily unless you vacuum full regularly, and I wouldn't recommend that to my worst enemy. ;)
