(just a thought)

Try putting the http_access deny line above any http_access allow lines
in your config file, and maybe use "dstdom_regex" instead of just "dst"
- (im not sure about the second part tho) - that might depend on which ver. of
squid you're using.

Example:

acl denied_destinations dstdom_regex "/usr/local/squid/etc/deniedsites"
http_access deny denied_destinations
http_access allow ....etc

sorry if you've already tried this.
