Mongodb cluster backup

I followed the mongodb documents for my cluster backup. http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/backup-sharded-cluster-with-database-dumps/

When I tried to take backup of my relpicaset. The secondary node in the replicaset is not getting shutdown. I am getting following error.

   root@local:/$ mongo --port 22222 -u admin -p admin --authenticationDatabase admin --eval 'printjson(db.adminCommand("shutdown"))'
    {
            "ok" : 0,
            "errmsg" : "unauthorized: this command must run from localhost when running db without auth"
    }

The admin user role is "userAdminAnyDatabase". I can not take backup if it is up. Please advise

Since you are dealing with the Cluster backup its recommended to use clusterAdmin role to backup the data.Also provide the readaccess for the required database.

db.grantRolesToUser("backupUser", [{role: "clusterAdmin", db:"admin"}])
