Did you try the commands with the correct user privileges? I had the same
problem, I tested and it worked, but when using mythwelcome the mythtv user
was not allowed to execute shutdown. I had to edit my sudoers file and
execute the shutdown command with sudo. My log files did contain more
information. Put a tail on the log file and see what it says every 60
seconds. I think I used -v all on the command line when starting
mythwelcome.

I had to make sure I did this:
