Thanks Bitt. That worked. Now I just have to find a better internet NTP address. The one I was using for SNTP apparently does not work for this.

empeg:/# /usr/local/bin/timesync.sh 208.14.208.19
empeg:/# 31 Jul 15:53:42 ntpdate[3320]: no server suitable for synchronization found

I will take a look on the web for some listings.
