Thank you Don. I've done more testing and I am slightly more confused, 
although I think I am making progress:

1. If I am on on the login screen (through vnc or rdp) or already logged 
in, both shutdown and reboot commands work
2. If I have logged in, but then locked the screen, neither shutdown nor 
reboot work, no matter how many times I send them.

It is starting to sound like a Windows specific problem, so I will get 
back to researching whatever registry settings might be available.

Thanks again for the suggestions
