Sorry, I was using rsyncd and I had already tried changing the verification 
probability to 1, so all files were getting verified.

You didn't specify the xfermethod you are using, but you might want to change 
this value:
$Conf{RsyncCsumCacheVerifyProb} = '0.01';

I think the default is 1%, in your case, I would change it to 1.00
(100%) so that every file will be verified, then force a full backup for every 
host. Be aware backups will be a lot slower than normal, but once you have 
completed a full backup for every host, you can change it back to the default.

Hope that helps

Regards,
Adam
