Clock with ntp issues

For some reason ntpdate insist on setting my clock to nine hours earlier than it actually is, maybe I haven't set my timezone correctly or something, but I'm not sure what I need to do different.
Here's what I have in my rc.conf

HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Berlin"

I have tried both localtime and UTC for HARDWARECLOCK, but when I run

ntpdate de.pool.ntp.org

I always get the wrong time.
Do I have to do anything special after changing rc.conf so it gets reloaded or something? Because that's the only thing I can think of right now.
EDIT: I'm not sure if I put this in the right forum, if it should go somewhere else I'd be thankful if one of the mods that be would move it.

Well, I tried it now. It had exactly no effect.
