If you are running the script against a remote server: mname="ServerName" - make sure you have admin rights on the remote server.

A great tool that will do this and very inexpensive is Visual Cron @

The code is fine, I use it on hundreds of systems.
Your issue is related to permissions, you need to have the rights assigned to remotely restart the system.
Check local policy of the machine and look at User Rights Assignment.
Navigate to:
Computer Configuration
Windows Settings
Security Settings
Local Policies
User Rights Assignment
At a minimum your ID must have the following:
Access the computer from the network.
Force shutdown from a remote system.
Shutdown the system.
I hope you find this post helpful.

No there should not be. You could as an alternative just put the script as a scheduled task on each of the other servers, that way permissions are local and the remote issue is taken out of the equation.
