How did you make the expire-header? Could the problem be that it doesn't
follow RFC2068 Date/time formats?

Haven't looked into the squid-code. But you should make Apache make the
expire header itself by using mod_expire.

Personally I think this is a bad idea. I see a growing number of webmasters
that insists on that the entire server should be non-cacheable. Usually
because they are having trouble configuring the server or understanding the
cache concept. If you insist on using the cache-control header I suggest
you limit it to a single directory and put the dynamic files there.
