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;
