Check the options in your ntpd command. From the man page:
-s statsdir
Specify the directory path for files created by the statistics facility. This is the same operation as the statsdir statsdir configuration command.
In my F9 setup, ntpd runs like this:
# ps -ef | grep ntpd
ntp 3350 1 0 08:59 ? 00:00:00 ntpd -u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g
ie no -s option do I don't see any stats in /var/log/ntpstats either. You can change the options by editing /etc/sysconfig/ntpd
While ntpd is running, try ntpq -p from the command line which should tell you which peers ntp is talking to or maybe not talking to.

You did retstart ntpd, righ?
