The following works for me (note the '-c' and quotes):
************************************************************
$ sudo su -m www -c 'rlog /usr/home/cvsroot/test/a,v'

RCS file: /usr/home/cvsroot/test/a,v
Working file: a
...
$ ll /usr/home/cvsroot/test/a,v
-r--r--r--  1 noackjr  noackjr  - 199 Mar 23  2004 
/usr/home/cvsroot/test/a,v
************************************************************
