I think this may be the problem. You are logging the sessions to the
file session.db here (which will use the old session code without
synchronisation between threads)...

...But you use the directory /sessions/ here.

Try changing the first one to /usr/lib/squid/sessions/

Granted this is as per the example, which is probably also wrong. Give
it a go, and if it works, I'll correct the example on the wiki.
