You will also need to look in your squid.conf file for the entries for
cache_effective_user and cache_effective_group and ensure that these
settings, your cache, and the binary are all the same. I think but I'm not
certain, that the default squid runs under the "nobody" user and groups.

I personally set up a user (useradd) and group (groupadd) called "squid"
and run the whole thing including cache directories with these but that's
_not_ a requirement for squid to work...
