Well, the man says path is a dir. You could rsync the parent dir and set the filter to exclude all others or include only this file.
rsyncd.conf(5) - Linux man page
Another possibility is to work around it by putting the flat file alone in a new dir, and sym-link or link it to be acessible from the original path. Just note that a sym-link imposes a slight cost at open. While rsync of any kind of link may have various problems and restrictions, it will certainly work if both ends are single linked flat files in the new dir, and the original path has a sym-link to it. Whether the apps on both ends are happy opening the sym-links in orignal paths is an additional question.

rdiff(1) General Commands Manual rdiff(1)
NAME
rdiff - compute and apply signature-based file differences
SYNOPSYS
rdiff [options] signature old-file signature-file
rdiff [options] delta signature-file new-file delta-file
rdiff [options] patch basis-file delta-file new-file
USAGE
You can use rdiff to update files, much like rsync does. However, unlike rsync, rdiff puts you in control. There are three steps to
updating a file: signature, delta, and patch.
DESCRIPTION
In every case where a filename must be specified, - may be used instead to mean either standard input or standard output as appropriate.
Be aware that if you do this, you'll need to terminate your options with -- or rdiff will think you are passing it an empty option.
RETURN VALUE
0 for successful completion, 1 for environmental problems (file not found, invalid options, IO error, etc), 2 for a corrupt file and 3 for
an internal error or unhandled situation in librsync or rdiff.
