I expect what happens is that the cron job is deleting log files that
the ntp server hasn't yet released, which creates the .nfs files and
then the next cron job trips over them. However, reading the comments,
ntp should be rotating to new ones daily so hmm. 

The error hasn't recurred since I fixed it on 2014-12-10 though, so I'm
not sure what to make of that either.

Anyway, I don't think that the cron job should clean up files in that
dir that weren't created by ntp itself.
