I am using the Trace.Write method to output debug statements throughout my
code. I have created the attached configuration file for settings.
However, more often than not, the messages are not being output to the file.
From the debugger, I can tell that my TextWriterTraceListener is set
correctly. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Here is the dump of the attachment:
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>

<trace autoflush="true">
<listeners>

<add name="logFile" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="EP200.log" />
</listeners>
</trace>
<switches>

<add name="General" value="4" />
</switches>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>

This works fine once in a while, but most of the time when I restart the
application, no messages are written to the file.

are you flushing?
it's good hygiene.

;)

Trace.Flush() ;

it could be just that the listener has buffered trace writes.
