Once in awhile I get into a situation where sabnzbd says something's already downloaded.

How can I force a re-download?

looking into it, it was also because it was downloaded as a bookmark as well. It wouldn't download the bookmark, and it wouldn't save it separately. I should have renamed, and then saved separately.

FYI, mldonkey solves this by allowing you to do a "force download" in the GUI.
