The shutdown_delay is the delay after you issue the upsdrvctl shutdown 
command.

This may due to that your halt script don't send the upsdrvctl shutdown in the 
end. Or that you don't waited 60 seconds for it to power of (se above).

Read the shudown.txt in the doc's.

The bcmxcp driver should work. But you have to connect it by the serial port.
And change port in ups.conf to (example) /dev/ttyS0 for com1
The bcmxcp and bcmxcp_usb is the same driver. The difference is the 
communication part. One talk over usb and the other over serial line.

Somethimes you need to power of and disconnect the ups if you have used it
on the usb port to have it switch back and start communicate on the serial 
port.
