I do something similar, I don't want inbound connections (DMZ --> LAN), 
so I use SSH.

SSH environment difference (e.g. SSH agent forwarding)? That could 
explain why it works manually, but not when unattended (upssched).

I specifically set SSH_AUTH_SOCK="" in my shutdown script so it won't 
affect my testing when running the script by hand. I use ssh -i 
<password-less identity file> for each host to shut down.
