I tried this, but have had no luck: when I start the game after setting that environment variable, the game asks for my CD key, and then recreates the dominions3 directory in my home directory.

That sounds like the standard linux thing. As if Dom3 had been installed on a server for everyone to use, and individual users can create mini-versions to play from.
On my server if I start Dom3 into a new users directory then it creates a few directories (dominions3, dominions3/mods, dominions3/maps, dominions3/savedgames, dominions3/savedgames/newlords) and asks for a key.
The bulk of the files remain in the system-wide shared directory. And I can create my own maps and such. If I say to use a map it looks in my maps directory first then if its not there it looks in the systems map directory.
Even though you are one user and own both, it sounds like its doing it that way. Creating some personal use directories and making them the "first check" location.
Just guessing.
