It's a permission problem- make sure whatever user you run myth as (probably 
'live') can shutdown the machine from the command line- I think myth uses 
the 'halt' command by default, so that needs to work.

You could use sudo to allow it to work, or, more insecure is just "chmod +s 
/sbin/halt" or something to that effect (as root).
