Sunc doesn't necessarily sync everything and if some random files are out of sync you either need to update them manually or get a new snapshot. I doubt the server/mirror is messed up, but you could try changing that. Downloading a new snapshot isn't that big a deal and that should definitely fix everything, so why not try that first?

You may also inspect each package and remanifest those that have problems (ebuild manifest). If you are certain that nobody has been fingering your ebuilds.
