I don't know anything about your version of Red Hat, but in some older
versions, I've seen the symlinks to the shutdown scripts in the wrong
order.  Take a look through your shutdown directories (/etc/rc.d/rc0.d
and rc5.d and rc6.d, assuming it's unchanged from RH6) and make sure
that any network-mounted file systems are unmounted *before* the network
is brought down.

(I had this problem on a Red Hat 6.2 system, which had been upgraded from
Red Hat 5.x.  The upgrade didn't handle the renaming of the symlinks
cleanly.)
