I don't think that's it:

cache_effective_user nobody
cache_effective_group nobody

# ls -l /usr/local/squid/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nobody 1024 Dec 7 15:32 bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nobody 1024 Dec 7 18:51 cache
drwxr-xr-x 4 nobody nobody 1024 Dec 7 18:54 etc
drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nobody 1024 Dec 7 15:32 logs

cache_log /usr/local/squid/logs/cache.log
cache_store_log /usr/local/squid/logs/store.log

Thanks Dean. I did 'touch' all the log files, but that didn't solve the
problem:

# /usr/local/squid/bin/squid -z
FATAL: none: (2) No such file or directory
Squid Cache (Version 2.1.PATCH1): Terminated abnormally.
