You misinterpreted his instructions. His command was:

        grep cache_effective_user squid.conf | grep -v "#"

the output he got was:

        cache_effective_user squid

You should see something similar

So what does your squid.conf have as cache_dir?

That directory MUST be writable by the user defined in
cache_effective_user.
