@command_path affects only executables directly invoked by cvsweb. And
cvsweb doesn't invoke diff directly [0], it invokes rcsdiff which then
again uses internally whatever diff it considers appropriate.
One thing to try: add this somewhere in your cvsweb.conf:
$ENV{PATH} = '/home/www/apps/bin';
If rcsdiff uses $PATH, that could help. If not, it might have a
compiled in path to the diff tool it's using. HTH...
[0] By default, that is. One can configure different diff tools for
different MIME types with %DIFF_COMMANDS in cvsweb.conf.
