I am/was experiencing this problem on Ubuntu 11.10. A bit of tuning for 
apparmor's confiugration solved the problem for me. Editing 
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.ntpd and running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure apparmor' did 
the trick. I added the following two lines for the /usr/sbin/ntpd:
  /etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf r,
  /{,var/}run/openntpd.pid w,

The trouble was that the apparmor prevented ntpd from reading the
configuration file and then prevented writing of the pid file...
