Well, since your log shows the time getting stepped only one way, it has
to be your clock. Unless, of course, there are a whole bunch of tiny
clock slews the opposite direction, which don't show up in your log.
This seems to be unlikely.
If you want to get rid of the messages, you can specify the "-x" flag to
ntpd. However, read the man page first and make sure that ntpdate is
called successfully at boot time, otherwise you could end up with a
badly mis-set clock for a very long time.
