On your resolver, in addition to checkmodified="true", specify:
changingPattern="*" changingMatcher="glob"
This will check if your published artifacts have changed even if your
ivy.xml hasn't. No guarantee this will do the trick, but worth a shot.
Your attempt to control this with overwriteMode="true" on ivy:retrieve is
like trying to close the barn door after the horse has already gotten out.
Ivy:retrieve is a post-resolve task, meaning it only gets involved after
you've done ivy:resolve. And it is on the resolve where the caching behavior
comes into play. By the way, I would recommend using ivy:cachepath or
ivy:cachefileset instead of ivy:resolve. This way you're getting the modules
straight from the horse's mouth (forgive all the horse expressions), i.e.
the Ivy cache, rather than from an intermediary, an extra directory that's
copied to. Fewer moving parts, fewer chances for things to go wrong.
