What do you see ntpd related in the logs (/var/log/messages)? IF the system is too far out, it will not sync and you will need to run ntpdate to sync to one of the time servers. Make sure the firewall (if there is one) allows the ntp traffic through. Port 123 IIRC. If you put servers in /etc/ntp/step-tickers the ntpd startup script will try to sync to them before starting ntpd eliminating any too far out of sync problems ntpq -p will give some information on the status of servers ntpd knows about.
