I have this same issue and have not fixed it but think I know what the
issue is.  Can you issue either reboot or shutdown commands as the user
running mythfronted (presumably mythtv user)?  If you try to, does it ask
for a su password?  I believe you need to give the user the the ability to
execute these commands without further interaction.  I know this a simple
fix (I am thinking I need to edit the sudoers file) but have not reminded
myself on how to do it.
