I think you'll want to leave www-data's homedir at /var/www; just make
sure that www-data user can write to ~/.ssh/

Hopefully in the future this won't be necessary... anyway, the way to
test this is to do:
su - www-data
ssh user@cvs-server

If you can log into your "cvs-server" as "user", then www-data should be
able to carry out the CVS commands that you need.
