Are you running ntpdate as root ?

I ran the following:

ntpdate -v -d dewey.lib.ci.phoenix.az.us
ntp.drydog.com

and it looked for and found both hosts but then just sits
there with
no other output.

You can force an update, instead of waiting
on the incremental changes. But, as noted below, it may affect
services.

    also adjusts your clock gradually so it won't immediately jump to
the 
    correct time. This is to prevent problems with services (like cron
and 
    logging) that depend on a clock that doesn't suddenly change.
