Hi;

When the backend is in the "It doesn't work" mode, type:

   mythshutdown --check -v general --loglevel info

The last line(s) could help, and might look similar to this:

   2012-11-27 14:25:28.489279 I  Mythshutdown: --status returned: 16
   2012-11-27 14:25:28.489325 I  Mythshutdown: --check returned: 1

The return value must be 0 for shutdown to happen.

Starting the backend with the -v idle,system could give you some
clues if the above doesn't help.
