I don't know. How are you starting mythfrontend when the machine  
starts? Instead of that, change it to mythwelcome. (This depends on  
your distribution or if you let your distribution set things up for  
you, etc.)

In order for the script to run, you must be running mythwelcome and  
not mythfrontend. I can't tell if that's what you're doing. Only then  
will mythwelcome poll the backend to see if it can shutdown and  
execute your shutdown script when the backend says it's ok.

This is all in the wiki page that someone else pointed you to.
