I created /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/99-shutdown.rules and this worked fine:
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
   if (action.id == 'org.freedesktop.login1.power-off-multiple-sessions' &&  
subject.isInGroup('Debian-gdm'))
   return polkit.Result.YES; else return polkit.Result.NOT_HANDLED;
});

Then I added a second file /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/99-power-off.rules and both 
failed to work:
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
   if (action.id == 'org.freedesktop.login1.reboot-multiple-sessions' &&  
subject.isInGroup('Debian-gdm'))
   return polkit.Result.YES; else return polkit.Result.NOT_HANDLED;
});

I found that either one of the above files by itself works fine, but it fails 
if both files are present.

Can you post exact failure messages please?
What exactly did not work?
Maybe also provide a debug log of polkitd.
