Well I figured out my shutdown delay problem - setting it starts the shutdown 
process (this is different to the APC model which is what I have used in the 
past)

I still can't turn the outlets on and off though, the value doesn't change 
from 0 :( I have tried a few random numbers but no luck. Has anyone had this 
work? I've tested it using the Win32 software and it does switch so I at 
least know the hardware isn't broken :)

Also I think there is a bug in mge-shut.c - line 370 should read..
	if (!strcasecmp(cmdname, "test.battery.stop")) {

(ie cut and paste error)
