I have XBMC set to idle out at 10 minutes and default action as suspend. This works fine. However now when I choose to power off XBMC it just goes into suspend mode. How can I set it to suspend after set time yet still be able to close XBMC? I think I am missing something obvious.

The one in IDLE will trigger XBMC.Shutdown() (builtin action) the XBMC.Shutdown will trigger the default shutdown action. this is suspend in your case (as set in settings)
However you can ofc. trigger XBMC.Powerdown() from button on the remote or in skin by tweaking it.
It´s abit of a mess but it´s because people have all sorts of ideas on what the shutdown button should do, some wants it to suspend, some minimize and some exit. Thats why we linked it to a choosable default action.
Skins should have an extra PowerDown / shutdown system in the shutdown menu, but it´s up to the skinner.

I too do most of this through Event Ghost and not XBMC. Even in the exit menu, Shutdown XBMC and Exit do the same thing so now I don't even bother with it and call XBMC.Quit when I press power on my remote then use Event Ghost to follow it up with System.Standby.
