Hi, could this be your problem (considering rsync does set timestamp to the source timestamps and not the current time)?
1) tomcat start, file X.jsp (version 1) has timestamp t 2) remote content management does a modification, remote X.jsp (version 2) has timestamp t+1 3) in the meanwhile, a client request X.jsp on tomcat, jasper build X_jsp.class (version 1) with timestamp t+2 4) remote content management does the rsync operation, tomcat's X.jsp (now version 2) has now timestamp t+1 5) user request X.jsp, jasper compare the X_jsp.class timestamp (t+2) to X.jsp timestamp (t+1) and concludes X_jsp.class (version 1) is more recent than X.jsp (version 2) and so does not recompile. If answer is yes, than you can start fixing your scripts to correctly update timestamps:) Whatever, compare the .class timestamp to the .jsp timestamp and check the .jsp is really timestamped as newer than .class file.
