[Samba] Shutting down WinXP Pro instance

Recently I set up a PDC (Fedora 12 - I'm using this for a specific reason) using Samba 3.4.9 and OpenLDAP 2.4.19; I named my domain ATHOME.  I am trying to figure out how to shut down WinXP Pro remotely and I'm not having any luck.  Up to this point I have tried the following:
 
 - I used ATHOME\root which is the admin acct I used to join XP to my domain.  I added ATHOME\root to my workstation's Administrators group.
 
 - I've disabled "simple file sharing" on WinXP.
 
 - I've disabled the WinXP firewall.
 
My results are the following:
 
[root at server0 openldap]# net rpc shutdown -d -I 10.1.0.154 -U root
[2011/01/24 19:50:34,  0] lib/debug.c:451(debug_parse_params)
  debug_parse_params: unrecognized debug class name or format [-I]
Enter root's password:
Shutdown of remote machine failed
result was: WERR_ACCESS_DENIED
[root at server0 openldap]# net rpc shutdown -d -I 10.1.0.154 -U Administrator
[2011/01/24 19:50:42,  0] lib/debug.c:451(debug_parse_params)
  debug_parse_params: unrecognized debug class name or format [-I]
Enter Administrator's password:
Shutdown of remote machine failed
result was: WERR_ACCESS_DENIED

The 1st attempt was using ATHOME\root; the 2nd attempt was using the workstation's local Administrator account.  I've tried googling for "WERR_ACCESS_DENIED" but I can't find any listings that resemble this issue.  Could someone pls clue me in?
 
Thanks for the help,
 
 - Joe
