Dew, A few questions to help figure out what is going on. What error messages, if any, are emitted? How do you determine that it isn't working? Can you manually execute ntpdate pool.ntp.org ? If ntpdate succeeds where ntpd itself fails, the culprit is most likely your firewall configuration. You need to permit both inbound and outbound traffic on UDP port 123. If you conclude that things aren't working from ntpq -p, have you waited long enough for ntpd to achieve synchronisation? Without iburst on your server lines it can take quite a while for sync to be acquired.
