You might get better results to you ntp questions on the ntp news group:

Start by removing all the restrict lines, then if it works, you know that
you have the basic setup right.

You should also add restrict lines, with less restriction than the default,
for the servers you use. Just adding a server line does not un-restrict it
automatically.

Are you really sure about this? Does a "ntpq -c rv" show the stratum as
below 15?

This looks like your server is not synchronized. Stratum 16 means not
synced.
