Thanks for the replies. I was able to enable my logs and run ntpdate with a server but I am still getting the same problems. I also opened port 123 on udp and tcp but that had no effect, and I really don't understand why you need to open a port in order to just query the correct time. Here is the feedback i get from the logs:
