One of three things, in order of likelihood:

a) your OS does not have /dev/shm running.

b) your Squid was not started with appropriate privileges to access
/dev/shm and create the shared-memory area. ie root.

c) a previous Squid process that was supposed to create that
shared-memory area is not running.
