I have been giving some thought to this, and I must admit I am stumped (not all that hard to do!).I assume you looked all the various log files in /var/log/*. Any hints? E.g., I have OpenAFS running on my computers, and particularily fast isMy RH 8.0 Linux machine loses or gains time every 12-20 minutes while it is running. The time changes that I have experienced range from +/- 13 hours to as little as +/- 32 seconds (see sample logs below).
the hardware clock of the one at home that it has to be set back several
seconds every hour. These corrections show up in /var/log/messages.

I seem to remember a report of an interaction between the battery monitor tool and time of day. You might try disabling the battery monitor and see what happens. {^_^}When I first started getting serious about troubleshooting this problem, I did notice an interaction between apmd and the timing of the time shift in /var/log/messages. I subsequently disabled apmd and as a result 2 things happened: 1) There is no longer any indication of any problems in /var/log/messages (apmd was the only thing balking when the time drift/shift occurred). 2) The time drift/shift problem continues even with apmd disabled.

I know you have said that ntpd is not running. Try running it, and see what happens. You will need to select a time server (use ntp.shorty.com). Let us know what happens with respect to the drift.
