One possibility might be that the files downloaded change their mtime 
after rtorrent reads and stores it in the new session torrent. Or the 
session torrent might for some reason not have updated properly.

Could you use a bencode decoding program of some sort (should exist 
somewhere, but don't have time to search), and compare the mtime of the 
session torrents and the real files.
