You just need to adjust the squid.conf of the running Squid to allow 
management access to the machine you are fetching from.


Be aware:
   Make sure that you only use reconfigure and avoid a restart of the 
proxy after making these changes. A restart will erase some or all of 
the info you are looking to find.


With the CLIENT_IP being address of the machine you are going to do the 
fetch from these commands go at the top of squid.conf:

   acl mgr_client src CLIENT_IP
   http_access allow mgr_client
   cachemgr_passwd none client_list


... *reconfigure* (not restart) the proxy.

... run the squidclient fetch you want

.. undo or at least comment out the above settings and reconfigure.
