Hi,

Thanks for following up on this. I took your advice, but afterwards I
simply received the same error.

I performed a "ls -la" on ../squid, and I don't see any evidence of a
swap.state.clean or .tmp - all I have are the cache folders, my logs
folder and swap.state. Where could this be, as it seems to be where
the problem lies?
