I think you want clientside_tos if you want to affect packets going to
the local client. tcp_outgoing_tos is for packets going to the remote
server.

From http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/tcp_outgoing_tos/
"Often only multiples of 4 is usable as the two rightmost bits have been

You may want to consider upgrading to the 3.2 branch (although I
appreciate that this is not a Debian stable package). A lot of
improvements have been made to the qos_flows code, and there is also the
option to use netfilter marks which you may find more flexible.
