If the date and time is more than a certain amount out, I thought that
NTP would refuse to start? Is the date from the GPS receiver correct?
Some older receivers had a GPS week roll-over issue. To get the date
right, I would add some Internet servers perhaps via the POOL directive
as a sanity check:
# UK pool servers
pool uk.pool.ntp.org iburst
Choose your appropriate region, of course, or just use:
pool pool.ntp.org iburst
There's a way to get NTP to force a date and time setting at start-up, a
command parameter: "-g". See:

Maybe you already have that set?
