Files don't get rescanned when their permissions change

Description
Scenario:
- Put in Music folder files to whom Rhythmbox doesn't have permission to read.
- Run Rhythmbox. Rhythmbox won't import them.
- Change permissions so that Rhythmbox could read them.
- After restart Rhytmbox won't try to import the files.
This might be a rare case but since there is no option to rescan library manually it rendered my Rhythbox unusable.
Solutions: Rhytmbox should either remember these cases when it could not import file because of permissions and during startup scan these also for permissions. Option to manually rescan the library could be added. I guess a simple command line option ("rhytmbox --rescan") would be sufficient since permission manipulation implies basic command-line knowledge anyway.
