There was a prior discussion on the mailing list a couple weeks ago about
this.  You can try running something like this after running ntpdate.

date `date --date "30 seconds" +%m%d%H%M%Y.%S`

That should set your clock 30 seconds into the future.  To go backwards
30 seconds use this:

date `date --date "30 seconds ago" +%m%d%H%M%Y.%S`
