First question: what version of ntpd are you running?
It should log this at startup.  It's important to know
this as the behaviour of different versions can vary.

When using driver 20 (refclock_nmea), I don't think you
need driver 22 (refclock_atom) -- the NMEA driver can
deal with PPS directly itself if you have the PPASPI.
Try removing "server 127.127.22.0".
