even when I run it as mythtv user I got this output (verbose log)

= 'MythShutdownNextScheduled' AND hostname IS NULL;

At least we see that the value 'MythShutdownWakeupTime' is set correctly
in the verbose log but the system doesn't shutdown.

I could write a script to execute the mythshutdown and then do a normal
shutdown command but this isn't really a cleanway to do it.
