That can occure when the queues are not empty. There s at least one connection 
active.
Shutdown gets delayed until the ques are empty or the session is set to offline 
and the last transfer is complete. 

When a session hungs itself there is a looong timeout! You has to wait until 
the timeout runs out. Then the session goes offline and then normal shutdown 
goes on or is possible.

In the settings you can change the behavior and set each server to be offline 
in default and switch to online only when YOU likes to exchange data with the 
server and thereafter switch back to offline magically. Read the docu for more 
details.
