If everything goes as planned how many more Shuttle flights
before the ISS is done?

Fourteen. The shuttle manifest has seventeen remaining flights, one a
"flight of opportunity" that will become HST servicing sometime in the next
couple of months, and two "contingency logistics flights" to stock up ISS
in 2010.
