yeah, happens here as well. And I also don't use any display manager,
just logging in into the console and then start Xfce by startxfce4.

So this might be related?

I also tried playing around with /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf but it
didn't change anything. The current version is attached just in case
someone is interested. (my user is member of the 'powerdev' group)

To get some debug info, I stopped the hal daemon and restarted it with:
/usr/sbin/hald --verbose=yes --use-syslog

The relevant messages when trying to shutdown the system are attached
in the file hal.log. It seems the following message is quite
interesting:

[W] ci-tracker.c:366: Error doing GetSessionForUnixProcess on
ConsoleKit: org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError: Unable to
lookup session information for process '2465'

Process 2465 was xfce4-session.

The only related messages in ~/.xsession-errors were:
** Message: xfsm-shutdown-helper.c:268: Using HAL to shutdown/reboot
the computer.
** (xfce4-session:2465): WARNING **: xfsm-shutdown-helper.c:234: Failed
to contact HAL: org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown no <--
(action, result)

I'm on Debian Testing with:

ii  hal                                 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2
