I suggest ensure that the files referenced by the command line or by configuration files can be created/written to by ntpd:ntpd. For example, you're not using the default location for ntpd.drift. The default location is /var/db/ntp/ntpd.drift, where the directory /var/db/ntp/ is owned by ntpd:ntpd (as per /etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist), so ntpd is able to write the drift file after dropping privileges.
