Suggest you:
1) Check the logs to see if there is a helpful clue
2) Check the gossamer threads mailing list archive for clues

IIRC, the problem I had required that the right user (whatever is
running MythTV BE, or maybe it was the FE?) needed to have an entry
allowing that user to invoke the right command (halt? shutdown?)
without requiring a password (**ever!**).

Sorry I can't be more specific -- I'm on the road right now.
