Running ntpd -q on a Fedora 14 VM gives the wrong time. I'm in the UK so my time should be UTC+1, but instead it's 6 minutes behind what it should be.

Anyone know why this might be and how to fix it?

The time on the server hosting your VM is off. Fix it and check again. Disable ntpd on your virtual machine, and sync to the virtual hardware clock.
