I would try something differnet...

Why not use a VBScript, or JScript using WMI to shut down the workstation...
This would be a call to a local API and you would not require an external
executable... When a workstation is shutting down it is terminating services
and disconnecting user network connections... perhaps your batch file is
getting lost in the organized mayhem... a call to a script will kick off
the script engine as a process on the workstation and should execute cleanly
and without issue...

This should help: save this as a JScript file... reboot.js and modify the
code in the Base Code Area
