please notice that the BEGIN.... EXCEPTION ... END; are withing main
function BEGIN END.
so it has to be like this:

create function x() returns ... as $$
declare
begin
   whatever;
   begin
     do something
     exception
   end;
   whatever;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;

notice 2 pairs of begin/end.
