It is not my shutdown script, it is the standard /usr/bin/shutdownvdr
script included in vdr-1.2.6. The default shutdown command is:

  SHUTDOWNCMD="/etc/init.d/vdr stop ; sleep 1 ; /sbin/shutdown -h now"

I installed a hook in /usr/share/vdr/shutdown-hooks/ to change this to:

  SHUTDOWNCMD="(sleep 1; /sbin/shutdown -h now)&"

and now it works.
