It looks like the setup.py does not correctly re-write the actual data dir, and assumes the data dir is in the wrong location.
If you want, there is a deb file available from my ppa at https://launchpad.net/~philip-peitsch/+archive/ppa that I am far more confident works (i.e., I actually use it :) ). I'm planning to put up a team repository for GPoweroff soon so that Ubuntu users can easily stay up-to-date.
Ahh. I suspect I know the issue. Can you paste the output of:
grep __gpoweroff_ data_directory_ _ /usr/local/ lib/python2. 6/dist- packages/ gpoweroff/ gpoweroffconfig .py
