IIRC; Squid also needs read access to all directories along in the path.
If you are manually setting permissions that may have been overlooked.

Also, check if there is anything like SELinux or AppArmor running on the
machine. They can prevent access to files despite what the Unix
permissions say.

According to your cache.log Squid exited due to inability to write to
the access.log files:

daemon:/var/log/squid/access.log: error writing ((32) Broken pipe)
