I gave up on ntpd and just added the following line to root's crontab:
0 3 * * * rdate -s my.web.server
My CMOS clock is usually off, so I've also added the rdate command to
my rc.local.
When I was setting up the machine the clock had drifted over 15
minutes and MythTV didn't crash even though it was recording when I
adjusted the time. I don't recall now which way it had drifted, but I
think rdate pushed the time 15 minutes into the past.
