I am testing your snippet here with my approximation of what your  
tables are.


I don't (yet) find anything cooresponding to your issue of

WARNING: plpgsql: ERROR during compile of linestring_samples near line
23
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "[".


BUT your calling script is using an increment of 0 to walk the path
position = position + 0;   as an iterator is not going to get anywhere.


While i'm trying to track down your issues ......
  i am using postgresql 7.4.5 and postgis 0.9.0 on (linux) FC3

if you don't mind what is your platform and SW version?

I'll stick with you to get this going.
