strange permissions problem on startup

I have a rather strange permissions problem with squid (1.0.20) on
a Sun Ultra 170E (Solaris 2.5).

I'm trying to start it from /etc/rc3.d with a little shell script
like this :-

#!/bin/sh
#(@)/etc/rc3.d/S99http.cache
# startup script for squid HTTP cache server

SQUIDHOME="/etc/squid" ; export SQUIDHOME

killproc ()
{ pid=`/bin/ps -e | grep $1 | awk '{ print $1 }'`
        [ "pid" != "" ] && kill $pid
}

case "$1" in
'start')
        echo "Starting Squid ... "

        ${SQUIDHOME}/bin/squid >/tmp/squid.out 2>&1 &
        ;;
'stop')
        killproc squid
        ;;
esac

The instance of squid started by this script fails and puts the
following messages in cache.log :-

[28/Nov/1996:19:12:55 +0000] main.c:418: Starting Squid Cache

I'm not at all clear why this is happening since I can start squid using
this same
script by hand later and there are no problems.

The directory containing the cache and log directories is owned by root
but it's the same
as my test machine which works.

prsun11b{jon}58: ls -l /export/home/squid/
total 12
drwxrwxr-x 102 root other 1536 Nov 28 23:55 cache
drwxrwxr-x 2 root other 512 Nov 28 23:55 logs
drwxrwxr-x 3 root other 1536 Nov 28 23:55 stats
drwxrwxr-x 3 root other 512 Oct 30 10:43 support

Can anybody suggest what is happening and how to fix it. I guess that if
I make the
logs directory world write-able then that will fix it but I don't really
want to do that.

Thanks

Jon
