Which timeservers are you getting the time from? (see /etc/default/ntpdate)
Do they provide the correct time?

Try "/etc/init.d/ntpdate start", and look in /var/log/syslog for new
entries from ntpdate.

If you are using pool.ntp.org, a server is randomly chosen from the pool.
You might want to configure ntpdate to always use the same server(s) -
this makes it easier to analyze the problem.

For debugging, you can also use the command "ntdpate -b -u SERVER", so
the output is sent to your terminal rather than syslog.
