This should work (from within the cvs vserver):

( export GIT_DIR=/srv/git/freedink.git
  git-config gitcvs.pserver.enabled 1
  git-config gitcvs.ext.enabled 0
  git-config gitcvs.dbname '%G/gitcvs-db/sqlite'
  d=$GIT_DIR/gitcvs-db
  mkdir $d && chown nobody $d
  )

Once you confirm that, I'll document it.
