I'm lucky to never have faced that problem :) I'm not sure a simple "touch" will force a new transfer. By default an incremental backup will only check (and transfer) the new metadata, but it will not transfer the file. A full will calculate the checksum, but again it won't transfer the file because it will be the same checksum as the one already in the cpool.
However, in the documentation it mentions that for pooling files the checksum is used only to search for "candidates", but then a "complete file comparison" is done to verify that they're actually the same file. So maybe a name change or move to another folder would be enough to force a full file comparison and transfer of the "new" file.
