How soon after you start ntpd do you try checking time?  I've found that 
synchronization with the servers in ntp.conf takes quite a bit of 
time.  Start up the daemon, leave it alone for at least 15 minutes (more is 
better) and then check time.  In case it helps, here is my /etc/ntp.conf file:

driftfile       /etc/ntp.drift

disable         auth monitor

server          tick.uh.edu     prefer
server          tick.greyware.com
