That is because the shutdown command is not available for su root, as the
standard su root path doesn't include /sbin. I would recommend putting a
symlink maybe in the /usr/bin or somewhere where the path is on the su root. To
find out what the path is, do an echo $PATH and put the symlink in one of the
directories that it spews out to you. That should work.

Good luck
