USR1 won't necessarily work if you have async-io enabled, as your
thread-library may use that signal. If '-k rotate' didn't work then
check to see if /var/run/squid.pid contains the right process id at all.
Check to see if squid is running under a user-id that has write access
to the _directory_ in which the log-files are, as well as write-access
to the files.
