I have it at the end of the body, you should try as well (it works for me).
Apart from that, to verify that the code is being executed, you can add a Javascript message box. Every time you load a Confluence page (normal page, not administration one) you should get a modal message window:
alert("Hello! I am an alert box!!");
Hope this helps.
