i would suggest the following to try and track the problem:

1. enable process accounting.
2. write a cron job that will write the time into a file, once a minute.

then wait a day. check the exact time in which the machine's time drifted
by an hour, and then look for suspicious activity in the proces accounting
data.

btw, i assume that the machine is not rebooted every day. right?
