as far as i know hwclock is not updated unless the system restarts, or you update it manually, and ntpdate does not update the hwclock, i have ntp update my clock every few hours and it has never updated the hwclock in over a year. not that it matters i could care less what my hwclock is set to, currently its like 3 hours off.
