I removed the hierarchy_stoplist lines and the acl QUERY lines and I'm
still getting nowhere. My refresh_pattern looks like this:

refresh_pattern cgi-bin 600 0% 4320 ignore-reload override-expire
override-lastmod

I know that's extreme, but I just want to see it work before I start
toning it down.

I'm using 1.2beta25.
