Failed to create a function SOLVED

Thanks to all who helped out on this problem.

RTFM and trial by Kafka-esque error are truly wonderful things.

One of the problems I was having with creating functions was the
strange behaviour of psql (responding with a list of command options
for every line pasted) when I was copying and pasting them from
BBEdit files, like this snippet...

webdav=# CREATE FUNCTION trigger_WDVolume () RETURNS opaque AS '
webdav'# DECLARE
webdav'#
ABORT     BEGIN     COMMENT   CREATE    DROP      GRANT     LOAD
NOTIFY    REVOKE    SET       UNLISTEN
ALTER     CLOSE     COMMIT    DECLARE   EXPLAIN   INSERT    LOCK
REINDEX   ROLLBACK  SHOW      UPDATE
ANALYZE   CLUSTER   COPY      DELETE    FETCH     LISTEN    MOVE
RESET     SELECT    TRUNCATE  VACUUM
webdav'# -- set the default disk space
webdav'#
ABORT     BEGIN     COMMENT   CREATE    DROP      GRANT     LOAD
NOTIFY    REVOKE    SET       UNLISTEN
ALTER     CLOSE     COMMIT    DECLARE   EXPLAIN   INSERT    LOCK
REINDEX   ROLLBACK  SHOW      UPDATE
ANALYZE   CLUSTER   COPY      DELETE    FETCH     LISTEN    MOVE
RESET     SELECT    TRUNCATE  VACUUM

...it turns out that, despite comments about psql being quite happy
with all whitespace, it's not: it doesn't like tab chars (in PG 7.3.3
on Mac OS X at least). Convert tabs to 2xspaces and all is
tickety-boo.
