I have gotten a message to this effect twice now recently, I think the full message was something like "The application backupdb helper has cancelled shutdown, please quit the application and try again".

What is causing this? Time Machine? The unit was not connected to a time machine disk when I got the message. In both cases, the MBA was asleep and I woke it up, then tried to shut it down a few seconds later.

If I try to shutdown a second time, everything works as usual.
