you are going to access GRASS-data with postgressql-stored attributes
through mapserver?
Perhaps you need to do db.login as www-data first to create the needed
dot-files?!

Just another thought:
Does the user www-data have rights to access to postgresql at all? Did
you try with psql -U www-data <yourdb>? Does it work?

Hope this helps
