Sean, I noticed that you are using the -p parameter, but I don't see where you 
are stating the pid file. 

Another option you may want to give a go to is the -g option.
       -g      Normally, ntpd  exits if the offset exceeds the  sanity  limit,
               which is 1000 s by default. If the sanity limit is set to zero,
               no sanity checking is performed and any offset  is  acceptable.
               This  option  overrides the limit and allows the time to be set
               to any value without restriction; however, this can happen only
               once.   After  that,  ntpd  will exit if the limit is exceeded.
               This option can be used with the -q  option.
