I think I've got it working now, it certainly starts up much quicker
even when I configure 10 squidGuard processes.

I have set up the following running on a weekly cron job as root to
download new blacklists and create the database just once a week (watch
out for the line wraps):

# This is Brian's blacklist update script

cd ~

rm -f -f bl.tar.gz

wget -O bl.tar.gz
http://ftp.tdcnorge.no/pub/www/proxy/squidGuard/contrib/blacklists.tar.gz

tar --ungzip --extract --exclude=*.diff
--directory=/var/lib/squidGuard/db --verbose -f bl.tar.gz

rm -f -f bl.tar.gz

wget -O bl.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.univ-tlse1.fr/pub/reseau/cache/squidguard_contrib/blacklists.tar.gz

tar --ungzip --extract --exclude=*.diff
--directory=/var/lib/squidGuard/db --verbose -f bl.tar.gz

rm -f -f bl.tar.gz

chown -R squid:nogroup /var/lib/squidGuard/db

/usr/sbin/squidGuard -C all

chown -R squid:nogroup /var/lib/squidGuard/db

/usr/sbin/squid -k reconfigure

#Script Ends

The squid.conf file seems to be okay exactly as it was. The squidGuard
processes seem to know to use the databases rather than the text files.

Does this look reasonable?
