Isn't that the point of this? (which has been running just fine for quite a long time)
The original problem posed was that local clients didn't have the same time as your local time server. Thus they are not synchronized with the time server they are supposedly configured to receive updates from.

If the local time server is not synchronized with the upstream time servers, the local time server will also not be providing any NTP updates to your local clients -- hence it is not surprising that the clients may be exhibiting the wrong time if the local time server itself is not synchronized or configured correctly.

No log messages has been posted from /var/log/daemon, so it is anyone's guess as to the current state of your local time server.
