Code:
client/New()
    spawn(108000)         
        var/mob/M = src
        M:GM_Announce("<b>WORLD REBOOT IN 5 MINUTES!</b>")
        sleep(3000)
        M:GM_Announce("World is rebooting in 10 seconds!")
        sleep(10)
        M:GM_Announce("World is rebooting in 9 seconds!")
        sleep(10)
        M:GM_Announce("World is rebooting in 8 seconds!")
        sleep(10)
        M:GM_Announce("World is rebooting in 7 seconds!")
        sleep(10)
        M:GM_Announce("World is rebooting in 6 seconds!")
        sleep(10)
        M:GM_Announce("World is rebooting in 5 seconds!")
        sleep(10)
        M:GM_Announce("World is rebooting in 4 seconds!")
        sleep(10)
        M:GM_Announce("World is rebooting in 3 seconds!")
        sleep(10)
        M:GM_Announce("World is rebooting in 2 seconds!")
        sleep(10)
        M:GM_Announce("World is rebooting in 1 second!")
        sleep(10)

That system is awful. It will load up the instant anybody logs in, so you'll have several sets of it running. Why are you using the colon? Don't. I have no idea why it doesn't work, but I suspect it is because you've done several stupid things elsewhere in the code.

Oh, you probably need a ..() in the top of the Client/New() proc. That may fix it.

And the announcement should be handled like this:

for(var/b=10, b>0,b--)
    world << "World reboot in [b] seconds
    sleep(10)
world.Reboot()

It should be called upon world.New()
var/const/TimeUntilReboot=3600 
//In seconds, this is one hour
world/New()
    ..()
    var/T=TimeUntilReboot
    while(T<0)
        T--
        if(T==60) world<<"Reboot in one minute."
        sleep(10)

In my situation, I use a world/New() then it call a AutoReboot() proc

proc
  AutoReboot()
    sleep(blah)

I never use spawn for a reboot code, just use a sleep on a new proc.

Augh. That loop is hideous. You should never do a bit-by-bit countdown when you can just do a simple spawn() and be done with it. You'd only want to do a loop like that if you were announcing it every second. Instead, try this one on for size:
// this var will be 0 or null if not rebooting,
// otherwise reboot when world.time reaches this value
var/reboottime

proc/SayTime(ticks)
  . = ""
  ticks = round(ticks,10)  // round to nearest second
  if(ticks >= 36000)
    . = "[round(ticks/36000)] hour\s"
    ticks %= 36000
  if(ticks >= 600)
    if(.) . += ", "
    . += "[round(ticks/600)] minute\s"
    ticks %= 600
  if(ticks)
    if(.) . += ", "
    . += "[ticks/10] second\s"

proc/NextUnit(ticks)
  --ticks
  // every hour
  if(ticks >= 36000)
    return ticks - ticks%36000
  // every 15 minutes within the last hour
  if(ticks >= 9000)
    return ticks - ticks%9000
  // every minute within the last 5
  if(ticks >= 3000) return 3000
  if(ticks >= 600)
    return ticks - ticks%600

proc/SetReboot(ticks)
  world << "<span class=server>The server will [reboottime?"now ":""]reboot in [SayTime(ticks)].</span>"
  reboottime = world.time + ticks
  spawn(ticks-NextUnit(ticks)) SayReboot()

proc/SayReboot()
  // if reboot was canceled, stop this proc
  if(!reboottime) return
  var/ticks = reboottime - world.time
  // if time was updated, this will bail out and wait for the next update
  if(ticks != NextUnit(ticks+1)) return
  world << "<span class=server>The server will reboot in [SayTime(ticks)].</span>"
  spawn(ticks-NextUnit(ticks))
    SayReboot()
