It could be a services dependency - you'd see that in the services applet.
Make sure that there isn't something in the ServiceControl table even if it's just spaces that might not show. I've noticed that spaces can affect this kind of thing. It might literally be trying to stop a service that's one blank space in the table.

Service '' () could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services. The three services I want to stop are listed in the log as the first three ServiceControl ops above, but it looks like a fourth was thrown in for free. I have looked at the ServiceControl table in Orcas and there are only the three rows I expect to see. Can anyone give me a clue what I should look for to track down this fourth ServiceControl op?
