Just do what it tells you - when ntpd tries to fix your time, and found it needs to be changed more than 1000 seconds, it will chicken out and tell you to do it. What you should do is probably something like this: ntpdate <ntp_src_host> (this will fix your date to that of the src_host) then run ntpd.
