It isn't a rights problem, I don't think. Probably squid didn't finish
fully creating the directories in the first place (and the swap.state)
wasn't correctly registered.
Assuming the cache dir lives in /var/squid/cache, try this.
rm -r /var/squid/cache
squid -k shutdown #kill your running copy, if any...
squid -z
... should create the directories without complaining. Naturally you
should be root. If this doesn't work, I'd like to hear more details,
because this happened to me and that is how it got fixed.
I sincerely hope this helps.
