Have you checked your system logs? A related problem happened to me while I was 
commissioning a new minimyth front end recently. It all worked with one 
exception: the shutdown command was ignored. This was using the exact same code 
as another front end, so I knew that the software was ok.

Looked in syslog, and saw 'sudo: file not found'.

Turns out that when the system was set up, with a new hostname therefore a fresh 
set of hosts settings, the shutdown command defaults to 'sudo /usr/bin/shutdown 
-h now'. There's no sudo in minimyth. Changed the command to '/bin/halt' (using 
front-end setup) and it all worked.

Your problem may be something similar. Try removing the 'sudo' from the front of 
your command. Another possibility is that you need sudo, but the /etc/sudoers 
file isn't correctly set up. If it isn't either of those, check syslog in any 
case, you may find a clue.
