Here's something you can try:

1. boot into single-user mode.
2. cd /var ; dump 0af /home | restore xf -
3. cd /home ; dump 0af /var | restore xf -
4. interchange /var and /home mountpoints in fstab.
5. reboot to check if everthing works.
6. If (worked) : congrats! you can now rm -rf the redundant directories in /home and /var.
7. Else : revert the changes to fstab
