ntpd not keeping time

[debian@clouded.org]

Hello all. I've got this weird problem with ntpd. Up until now I've never
had ntpd fail me. But on this one box I've got the clock speeding up by 30
minutes each day. I've got ntpd installed and configured properly with
working ntp servers. In fact, ntpdate sets the clock properly, but ntpd is
failing to keep the clock in sync with the ntp servers.

I've tried purging ntp & ntp-simple and reinstalling, but that didn't
help. There are no errors in any logs in /var/log. Any ideas or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
