However, this is not good practice and if the server restarts then winbind fails to start throwing the error "incorrect permissions set, 757 should be 750". Changing the permissions back allows winbind to start but squid then stops authenticating.

So what user are your squid running as?
There is a config directive "cache_effective_user" - 
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/cache_effective_user/
On centOS, squid is running as 'squid' by default; adding squid to group 
'wbpriv' - default centOS-winbind group - allows to run NTLM/negotiate 
authenticator without issue.

What OS? Is selinux enabled and enforcing policy applied?
