Add --checksum to your RsyncArgs which tells rsync to compare using the checksum instead of modification time and file size.
PS, this is basically the same as doing a full backup with rsync anyway, so you might find that easier. PPS, another option might be to exclude this file/drive from the backup of this host, and then setup another "host" which will *only* backup this drive/file using the --checksum option. That would allow quicker incremental backups for all other files which ensuring a full backup of this file every time.
