NTP won't update

[Nathaniel Hall]

Here is the configuration of my ntp.conf (comments removed)

    server /Our internal time server/
    server ntp-cup.external.hp.com
    server time.nist.gov
    server 127.127.1.0
    fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10

    restrict 127.0.0.1
    restrict 0.0.0.0 mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery notrust

    driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
    multicastclient                 # listen on default 224.0.1.1
    broadcastdelay  0.008

    authenticate no

ntpdate seems to have started working now, however, ntpq -p does not.  
After syncing with the time servers using ntpdate, I start the service 
and run ntpq -p and get this response:

     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  
jitter

The ntpdates synced without a problem.  I have other servers using the 
same ntp.conf file without a problem.  Any ideas?
