Hi,
this runs perfectly for me:
<http://open.konspyre.org/blog/2012/10/18/raspberry-pi-time-server/>.

OK, maybe I'll have to try that image.  

In general though, when it comes to this line...

  fudge 127.127.20.0 flag1 1 time2 0.496

... how do you know what value to set for time2?  

Did you got through the instructions here?

http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/drivers/driver20.html

... or are you using 0.496 - what is shown on the http://open.konspyre.org/blog/2012/10/18/raspberry-pi-time-server/ ?
