What you're looking for is something like "Ignore the file on the source
and destination, so (as far as that file is concerned) there was no
rdiff-backup run."  This has not been implemented yet (for any option)
in rdiff-backup.  However, it has been suggested (e.g.
http://wiki.rdiff-backup.org/wiki/index.php/IgnoreFiles).
