Check that you have your timezones set correctly. Unix systems track time in UTC or Greenwich Mean Time*, that internal date is then converted to local time using the timezone you set. During that conversion process DST adjustment happens, too. All that ntp does is make sure that your system time in UTC is correct. If your conversion to local time is incorrect, ntp can do nothing about it. Similarly, the hardware clock is also set to UTC. Your problem, especially considering you run ntp, seems to be a UTC-to-local-time conversion issue rather than an incorrectly adjusted UTC clock.
