There is nothing in the log file (in pg_log dir) with regard to this. Should I set any particular parameter in the postgresql.conf file to log information about a failed startup? I have not altered or uncommented any lines in the "ERROR REPORTING AND LOGGING" section of the conf file.

Thanks again,

What did you have archive_command set to?  That needs to
dump the WAL files generated while the backup is going on somewhere that gets copied over after the main copy is done, and you need the last of them referenced by the backup copied over before you can use that backup. Steps (1) and (5) of http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/continuous-archiving.html

are the hard parts here and I don't see that you're
addressing them so far, and that will keep the copy from starting if all the files aren't there.
