Have you done any messing with capabilities? In src/kernel/time.c:
/* In order to modify anything, you gotta be super-user! */
if (txc->modes && !capable(CAP_SYS_TIME))
return -EPERM;
Also, are you using a standard kernel or a custom one? I'm thinking that
maybe the adjtimex() system call got broken somehow, as that's what
ntpdate uses to set the time.
