This can be marked solved, thanks to Dale....I recompiled my kernel to include Power Management with ACPI and my box now shutsdown normally.

It just sits forever. I re-emerged baselayout and checked my shutdown.sh, it all looks ok, but...no go. Any ideas? Douglas You may need to check the kernel too. I think you have to enable APM or ACPI or something for it to power off. Can't recall which. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) :-)
