First, a warning: the rosnode documentation notes "This library is intended for internal use only." That means that I am likely to tweak the internal API in non-backwards-compatible ways. You may wish to copy some of the easier routines into your own code to be safe.

There shouldn't be any permissions issues; the general technique (right now) is to make an XMLRPC call to the node to kill. This will change in the future, but that's how it works now.

My only guess is that your code may be specifying node names differently -- they have to be fully resolved names.

UPDATE:

The problem is that kill_nodes() takes an array of node names, not a string.
