The offset of the NMEA source is probably too large to be locked with
the PPS. You will need to adjust the offset value on the SHM line to
bring it closer to UTC and allow PPS to lock.

As a first step, it would be good to confirm that the server is
responding. tcpdump-mini would be a good tool for that. :) If it does
respond, then a second step would be to recompile chrony with
debugging enabled, run chronyd with -d -d and see if there is
anything interesting.
