The usual thing to do is to copy the source file's modification time after copying the file itself. If psync doesn't do that, then you're just playing a numbers game on yourself, waiting for some file to take longer to copy than the difference for which you're checking. See, e.g., the "-p" option to cp(1) and tar(1), touch(1), and utimes(2).
