If XF86PowerOff is not correctly recognized you could try to map it manually to 
your keycode. 
Just create a .Xmodmap file in your home directory and type in:
keycode <keycode> = XF86PowerOff

But from your output I don't see any keycode to replace <keycode> with. 
So my guess. It might be a an acpi issue here. 
What computer / laptop do you test this on ?
