I found my problem. My iptables setup was not allowing UDP communication from source 127.0.0.1 and some high port to destination 127.0.0.1 and the same high port. Once I allowed that communication the "test stats" was ok. I ran a diff on the postmaster log file from an "ok" run and a "failed" run and the only difference was the date/time, so there was no indication there of this type of problem there.
