Be sure that the current user has the power to shutdown with sudo and
also xfsm-shutdown helper.

root at melquior:~# cat /etc/sudoers
root    ALL=(ALL) ALL

bruno ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown,/usr/sbin/xfsm-shutdown-helper
root at melquior:~#

Bruno is my current user in this case, you should also specify a group
of user adding a % before the group name like this.

root at melquior:~# cat /etc/sudoers
root    ALL=(ALL) ALL

%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown,/usr/sbin/xfsm-shutdown-helper
root at melquior:~#
