Well, the version numbers look good! Now that the versions are
correct I can offer a few thoughts/comments that may help:

- After installing a different version of BerkeleyDB, you need to 
delete all of the existing .db files and recreate them with -C.

- What log entries are added to squidGuard.log when you execute a
'squid -k reconfigure'?

- Would you mind posting your squidGuard.conf file? Or send it to me
privately, if you prefer.

Here are some of the assumptions that I am making about your system:

- Squid was installed and working properly before the squidGuard
install was started. 
- Your browser points to squid as a proxy and you are able to browse
the web through squid.
- The user:group owner of your squidGuard directories and files 
matches the user:group listed for the cache_effective_user and
cache_effective_group tags in your squid.conf file.
- You have modified the redirect_program tag in your squid.conf file
and squid starts squidGuard when you execute 'squid -k reconfigure'.

I'll be happy to work through this with you; I know we can get it
up and running!
