I have had some problems with ntp not working as well, while xntp3 worked perfectly. One thing I found (from trawling through the docs) was that adding a 3 on the line after the server line can help. This is telling the ntp4 client that the server is ntp3.
I am still having a few other issues, but this did fix it in a number of cases.
