[squid-users] permission denied on error files

Hi folks,

I just can't squid, it complains about not being able to find or read the error files.
exact log below.

Frankly I know this is a load BF because I've installed the same version on same version (even
same security setup) of Mandrake.
Here is few things I tried.
I copied the error files into a world RWX directory, changed the mod so that even lam user can
RW the files and tested it successfully.
I tried as well to run squid in effective_user/group root.
Tried also to run squid as root.

Despite all of this I still get that same error.
Given that I think this a tough cookie crack, I don't expect a solution straight away but
at least if anyone could give some clues on how to debug it further, that would be a start.
I tried to "strace /usr/sbin/squid" but this only give me the starting part, missing the part
where it falls over and "strace -p <PID of squid>" seemed to short after.
