Have you tried setting setting the Group that the file belongs to? Make sure
that the owner is root.

You could write a cron job which then executes a shell script that would
periodically (depending upon the time you specify in the cron job) delete
the contents of the cache, thus:

#!/bin/bash
cd /var/squid/cache
rm -f *

If you saved this script as "cacheclear" in your "/usr/bin" folder and then
type in:

chmod 700 /usr/bin/cacheclear

and then run it, this will clear you cache

does this help?
