Shutting down a complete federation

I've started a new thread on this rather than hijacking an old one :0)

I'm running SimpliVity 4.0.1

I'm finding the complete shutdown of a federation a very hit and miss affair. Everything is fine until I get to the last node that is running the VCSA. I shut all other vm's down with the exception of the VCSA and the OVC and then shutdown the VCSA. 

I next SSH into the OVC as SVTCLI (as the VCSA is shutdown) and this is where I hit issues. I get the same error on all six of the two node environments I've tried so far - so I must be missing a step.

I run

~$ svt-shutdown-force --emergency

This asks me to confirm I want to shutdown even without achieving HA compliance to which I respond 'yes'. The it asks me for the svtcli password (which I enter). it then returns 'A shutdown task is not running on the virtual controller' and nothing more happens. This did work for one cluster  but not any of the others I tested with.

I have also tried 'sudo su' followed by 'source /var/tmp/build/bin/appsetup' and 'stop svtfs' but this says "command 'stop' not found, but there are 18 similar ones"

Where do I go from here please?
