Wait 15-30 minutes, it takes a while for your server to "upgrade" itself 
to be "strata of server you're sync'ing against"+1. If it's still not 
usable then there's likely a sync issue on mythback itself.

You can usually diagnose the problem by looking at the output of 
ntptrace and/or ntpq(pe, as and rv commands).
