Hmm.. "Document contains no data" sounds like some serious error.
Anything said in cache.log?

If I recall correctly Squid won't allow you to specify command arguments
requiring spaces, so if ldap_auth requires arguments with spaces in them
then you need to wrap it in a small shell script providing the
arguments. I guess this also applies to double quotes which are kind of
special in squid.conf...

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/squid/bin/ldap_auth <arguments>
