EU says that is part of it, the other is that he lived in a force sensitive tree that somehow canceled out the presence of Yoda in the force. Also, he chose to live near a Dark Side cave (the cave that Luke enters) that counteracted his force presence. Plus, Dogabah was deleted from the Jedi archives prior to the Jedi purge and nobody knew about it.
