Everytime you update an image the tarballs & torrents of your images must be refreshed. If you want to re-create only one image just delete the appropriate tarball in /var/lib/systemimager/tarballs and the torrent in /var/lib/systemimager/torrents. Moreover, in general, it's better to set the option BT_UPDATE=n in your /etc/systemimager/bittorrent.conf... otherwise all the tarballs and torrents will be re-generated everytime you restart the bittorrent daemons.
