Sometimes a process is simply busy and can't shut down for a few moment, 
so it tells the OS it's a bad time.  Another possibility is that an 
application is waiting for you to ack the save=yes/no dialog.

Personally, I usually issue a forceful shutdown in 300 seconds, then 
shutdown myself manually.  If the shutdown is aborted, then 300 seconds 
later the forceful shutdown resolves the problem.
