Uwe - thanks for the tip on hwclock -wu
The following output is what /var/log/ntp.log looks like after issuing the 
following 2 commands:

#/etc/init.d/ntpd stop
#ntpd -n

12 Jun 14:16:02 ntpd[8885]: ntpd exiting on signal 15
12 Jun 14:20:56 ntpd[9340]: synchronized to 212.79.244.34, stratum 2
12 Jun 14:20:56 ntpd[9340]: kernel time sync disabled 0041
12 Jun 14:28:32 ntpd[9340]: kernel time sync enabled 0001

I'll keep an eye on it and let you know.

Thanks,
