1. Have you tried to disable IPv6 on this machine?  (see my other reply to 
your other reply)

2. You said in your first posting that "I have to create the access.log by 
hand, and set up the owners. After that I rebooted the server and squid3 
daemon runs OK."  Do you really need to reboot the server, or is restarting 
Squid sufficient?

Considering that you've found you have to create the file manually and set the 
correct permissions / ownerships, I would change the "nocreate" line in the 
above script so that it does create the file, with the correct ownership etc.
