There certainly is documentation; it is included in doc/adminguide, in
DocBook SGML form, as well as in HTML form in a tarball distributed
nearby the sources.  I also publish it at my web site; URLs below.

Two pretty clear problems:

1.  No preamble.

http://linuxfinances.info/info/hdrcmds.html

"The following commands must appear as a "preamble" at the beginning of
each *slonik* command script."

The necessary "preamble" commands are:
- cluster name
- admin conninfo

2.  You didn't specify which node you were updating.

http://linuxfinances.info/info/stmtupdatefunctions.html

You need to specify something like

update functions (id = 1);

(supposing you have a node 1).

You need to update functions on each node in the cluster.
