Err.. your configuration says "ignore all NTP servers except
localhost".  You would need to let ntpd accept a time service from
all those machines you've told it are servers.  Since you're using
pool.ntp.org, you're going to need a blanket 'allow any server'
config like:

restrict default nomodify nopeer noquery
restrict 127.0.0.1

	Cheers,
