I forgot to mention I tried the script having commented out the function and
trigger because I didn't have pl/pgsql loaded in the database I was using for
it.

However, the mention of the function failing raises a question for me. I don't
think I've seen this in the documentation, my apologies if it's there or a
blindingly obvious fact, so does the trigger get run if I do something like:

BEGIN;
INSERT INTO mytable VALUES (...);
CREATE TRIGGER mytrigger BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON mytable blah, blah, blah...
COMMIT;

I would have said not but Robert's comment seems to be saying it is.
