Nemrun has a command-line option to change its behavior from simply shutting the server down. Use this on your nemrun command line:
-sharedkillcommand="sv_shutdown" Although I think I tried to use sv_shutdown once and it didn't work, could be wrong though. Have you ever had a problem with updating while the server is running? I currently have nemrun set to shut down then update, but I might switch it if it works.
