Hello, You say ntpd is running. Is it running as a daemon ?
AFAIK, to keep good time on a linux machine inside the network, you need to run "ntpdate" and not "ntpd". I had _exactly_ the same problem and I was running an ntp daemon. I wasn't actually syncing to anything. So,I did some searching and found out that I need to run "ntpdate ntp.server.fqdn", then add this same line to cron.
