One cannot convert a cache_dir of another type to rock cache_dir. You 
will need to start from scratch, using a rock-dedicated cache_dir path 
(initialized by running "squid -z" after updating squid.conf). If you 
want to reuse the same path, then move or remove the old/diskd contents 
first.

See cache_dir directive in squid.conf.documented; diskd and rock 
cache_dirs have _different_ configuration syntax because rock cache_dirs 
do not have/need L1 and L2 parameters required for diskd cache_dirs:

     cache_dir diskd Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
     cache_dir rock Directory-Name Mbytes [options]

HTH,
