Try kwrite:
$ dcop|grep kwrite
$ dcop kwrite-<PID> ViewStatusMsgInterface#1-1 viewStatusMsg Hello

Now you'll see "Hello" in kwrite's statusbar

An explanation: The dcop interface causes a signal to be sent. Kate does not 
connect to that signal, kwrite does (Kate has a more sophisticated statusbar 
than kwrite, and cannot use the strings that kateview emits).

It is problematic that the documentation is so bad and also that Kate this way 
does not provide a way to change the status message from scripts, but the 
interface actually works.
