please check the permissions of the whole path

   ls -ld /home /home/thomas /home/thomas/squid /home/thomas/squid/var /home/thomas/squid/var/cache

in all the steps Squid need to have at least x permission, and in the last
(the actual cache directory) rwx permissions. This applies to the logs
directory as well.
