[aklug] rsync help

I just spent the last several days transferring 3,000 files over a
slow link and perhaps made a mistake I'd like to fix. When I ran the
rsync command I forgot to include a -t flag to preserve original file
date/time. Is there anyway to re-run rsync to have it just go through
and update the date/time on the 3,000 files without actually
transferring the file data again? As I said, it took several days so
I'd like to save that time and frankly the source is a degraded raid
array that I'm trying to move everything off of before it fails, so I
really don't want to stress the girl anymore than I have to :P
Ultimately it's not the end of the world as these files were the bulk
of what was on the array so if all I have to put up with is some
changed dates, not the end of the world.

If I can't fix this with rsync, I'm also open to other ideas/suggestions.

Thanks!
