I guess that's because the SetActive() method only works at the local game. If you want to activate or deactivate the shield using SetActive(), you will need to call a RPC function on all the clients to activate your shield on their games too. Like that:

 var uses int = 1;
 var shield : GameObject;
 .................................
  
 if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.V)&&uses=1){
    networkView.RPC("activateShield", RPCMode.AllBuffered, true);
 
    WaitForSeconds(10){
       networkView.RPC("activateShield", RPCMode.AllBuffered, false);
    }
 }
 
 @RPC
 function activateShield(active:bool) {
    shield.SetActive(active);
 }

Of course that's a lot of ways to do that, you can also call a RPC method that controls the shield on the other clients game. =]
