The quantity 
(cv2 * mean2) / (cv1 * mean1) 
is 
((sd2 / mean2) * mean2) / ((sd1 / mean1) * mean1) 
and so is a ratio of standard deviations, not of variances. Only
exceptionally
will the two be the same. Similarly, I don't see that a variance ratio
can be 
calculated as a ratio of standard errors.
