You might also try doing an 'ntpdate' on each node, to see if you can get
the times closer to the server. There are restrictions in the NTP code that
don't allow large changes to be made in time on the client. Slow increments
of 15 minutes could take many days to sync.
Are you seeing full connectivity on your clients to the server (all 7's)?
