Perhaps your data, even in the log scale, are not normal simply
because real data are never normal.
In what way(s) do your data depart from being reasonably approximated
by a normal distribution? Some of the people who read this list may
have suggestions, but it will be easier for them to respond if you
explain the nature of the non-normality.
