There is no "else if" in plpgsql, if I remember correctly. Try:

create function utbl_set_statchangedate() returns opaque as
'begin
IF TG_OP = ''UPDATE'' THEN
NEW.statchangedate := CURRENT_DATE;
ELSE
IF OLD.status <> NEW.status THEN
NEW.statchangedate := CURRENT_DATE;
END IF;
END IF;
return NEW;
end;
' language 'plpgsql';
