which logfile? ntp retires each log file, renaming it with the current
date-- at the end of each day UTC as I understand. Thus 
-rw-r--r--  2 ntp  ntp    3140 2013-12-07 15:49 loopstats
-rw-r--r--  1 ntp  ntp   12729 2013-12-03 15:55 loopstats.20131203
-rw-r--r--  1 ntp  ntp   11560 2013-12-04 15:57 loopstats.20131204
-rw-r--r--  1 ntp  ntp    4192 2013-12-05 15:36 loopstats.20131205
-rw-r--r--  1 ntp  ntp    8637 2013-12-06 15:54 loopstats.20131206
-rw-r--r--  2 ntp  ntp    3140 2013-12-07 15:49 loopstats.20131207

I do not know how you are reading the files to see if it not populating
them?
