Try putting your restrict clauses towards the bottom of the file.
Also verify that the drift file exists, and that it's owner and group
are set to ntp.  Also check syslog for ntp errors.
FWIIW, I usually find it easier to write ntp logs to an alternate log
file, which you can do by adding a clause such as this one:

logfile   /var/log/ntp          # alternate log file

Kind regards,

Herta
