The libvirt API has this to say regarding the shutdown command:
virDomainShutdown:
Shutdown a domain, the domain object is still usable there after but the
domain OS is being stopped. *Note that the guest OS may ignore the request.*
It is likely a guest OS issue. Which guest are you running? I had problems
shutting down Windows guests, I had to resort to Destroy too in order to
make sure the guest effectively guests shut down.

Hi
For some reason recent libvirt code (0.8.3 and even before) the 'virsh
shutdown <domain> ' is not effective .
It issues an ok message but the domians remains in a runnning state .
Only th e destroy works fine.
Any idea ?
thanks

Hi Zvi,
I had to install acpid on ubuntu in order to shutdown via virsh.
