You've got a pretty big offset there.  I seem to recall seeing something
that said xntpd has a maximum correction factor.  Try running "ntpdate -s
bernina-rz-fddi" or some other ntp host, after you stop xntpd.  Then you'll
be in sync, and restarting xntpd might keep the clock in line.

As far as the ntp.conf, you've got teh same thing I do, except I've got
more servers listed, apperently...  Not to imply that should make any
difference.

BTW:
sauer@cloud120:/home/nfs/sauer > rpm -q xntp
xntp-3.5.93c-2
