Always a good idea.

I wonder what rules these could be.

Yep - You need to redirect all packets bound for port 80 to squid.
# ipchains -A input -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT 8080
I'm assuming port 8080 is where you're running squid.
Beware though that using squid as a transparent doesn't let you use
proxy-auth properly. I haven't tried it my
self, but it's there in the docs.
