Shouldn't that be:

/usr/bin/pgagent hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=ec user=postgres                                                 ^

Only put the pgAgent objects in the 'maintenance database' ie. The one
that is specified in the connection dialog in pgAdmin (normally
postgres).

No, it's aborting when it connects so it'll never update the stats. If
it's not the typo above, try checking the server logs for more info. You
may need to enable the connection logging options.
