If the command "date" shows UTC time, then the time has to be set also 
using UTC. But that command allows displaying and setting the time in any 
standard.

If, as for the OP, it shows UTC and you set it to local time, as is, the 
display will seem correct at first glance, ie the "number" will be 
correct, but the computer says it is still UTC.

I mean, if it 18:00 local, and it displays: "18:00 UTC", the time is 
incorrect, even being the number correct. Thus, when ntpdate runs it 
displays "wrong" - being in fact correct, but with the wrong timezone.

Ie, the OP problem is only the TZ.
