Disclaimer: I'm far from an xntpd expert, but I have managed to whack a similar situation into shape.

In my experience if the clock is sufficiently far out, xntpd sends error messages to syslog and that's about it. Also, I'm not 100% sure that a time server that works for ntp will work for xntpd. The url above has a list of valid public time servers, give a different one of those a try. >Additionally, every addition I made about the hosts inside did even >less. I don't know what this means.. can you be more specific?
