Panagiotis, If I do /etc/init.d/voyage-sync stop chown www-data /var/www then reboot, I find that /var/www is owned by root again.
Permissions of subdirectories within /var/www retain their correct ownership. So punkytse's method of making /home be an aufs filesystem works, but not your method of making an individual home directory by an aufs filesystem. There appears to be a problem with voyage-sync script setting the aufs mounted directory to the correct owner.
