Have you set the "shutdown script" and "abort shutdown script"

abort shutdown script = /sbin/shutdown -c
shutdown script = shutdown script = /etc/samba/shutdown.sh %z %t %r %f

cat /etc/samba/shutdown.sh
---<clip>----
#!/bin/bash
# %z - Message = $1
# %t - Seconds before shutdown starts = $2
# %r - Reboot switch (-r) = $3
# %f - Force switch (-f) = $4

$time=$2
let "time=time/60"
let "time++"
/sbin/shutdown $3 $4 +$time $1 &
---</clip>----
