Try running ntpdate or manually setting your time to something approximately
correct and then letting ntp do its thing. If your clock is too far off, ntp
assumes that one or more of the machines involved has gone insane and doesn't
try to fix it. (Alternately, it could be using clock slew to move you closer
to the correct time gradually to avoid upsetting any running programs by
causing the time to jump by an hour. If this is the case, it could be a day
or two before the correction is completed.)
