Sorry, but that isn't correct.

First we have Acrobatics;

you can move through a threatened square without provoking an attack of opportunity from an enemy by using Acrobatics.

Which allows moving through a threatened square without provoking. That is what the tumble roll is for, not simply to move through the squares.

Then we have Spring Attack;

As a full-round action, you can move up to your speed and make a single melee attack without provoking any attacks of opportunity from the target of your attack.

Which eliminates the possibility of Attacks of Opportunity from your target.

And finally Canny Tumble;

When you use Acrobatics to move through an opponent's threatened area or space without provoking an attack of opportunity from that opponent, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus on your next melee attack roll against that opponent

Which requires that you use Acrobatics to avoid the attacks of opportunity from an opponent, you get a bonus against them. However, Spring Attack removes the removes the possibility of that occurring.

As much as you may want to rule wrangle to make it so, the abilities are directly opposed to one another.

Spring attack does not let you avoid the AO from moving through the opponents space. Provided you tumble through it I would let the combo work. Apart from that, I agree with Fomsie.
