Maybe "NEW" needs to be all caps?  Also, with the BEFORE trigger,
you'll need to RETURN NEW.

This trigger of mine works just fine as a before trigger, FWIW:


CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION sessions_update_lastuse() RETURNS TRIGGER
  AS $$
    BEGIN
      NEW.lastuse = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
      RETURN NEW;
    END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
