Description of problem:
squid can't use another cache_dir.

squid -z will not work with cache_dir other than /var/spool/squid
/etc/rc.d/init.d/squid start will not work either (assuming cache
already exists).

Works fine with default cache_dir.

Can't initialise cache; can't use cache after machine migrated from FC2. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
squid-2.5.STABLE6-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
cd /etc/squid
2.
Add the lines:

cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 100 16 256
cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid2 100 16 256

to squid.conf
3.
    # mkdir /var/spool/squid2 
# chown squid:squid /var/spool/squid2 
# chmod 750 /var/spool/squid2 
# strace -f squid -z > /tmp/squid-z.strace 2>&1
# ls -la /var/spool/squid2 
total 16
drwxr-x---   2 squid squid 4096 Jan 18 17:13 .
drwxr-xr-x  28 root  root  4096 Jan 18 17:13 ..
# ls -la /var/spool/squid | head -5
total 144
drwxr-x---   18 squid squid 4096 Jan 18 17:14 .
drwxr-xr-x   28 root  root  4096 Jan 18 17:13 ..
drwxr-xr-x  258 squid squid 4096 Jan 18 17:14 00
drwxr-xr-x  258 squid squid 4096 Jan 18 17:14 01


Actual Results:  cache created in /var/spool/squid but not in
/var/spool/squid2

Expected Results:  cache created in both /var/spool/squid and
/var/spool/squid2

Additional info:

Any cache_dir (in squid.conf) other than /var/spool/squid does not work.

e.g. using:

cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 100 16 256
cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid2 100 16 256

then:

mkdir /var/spool/squid2
chown squid:squid /var/spool/squid2
chmod 750 /var/spool/squid2
strace -f squid -z > /tmp/squid-z.strace 2>&1

... the cache gets initialised in /var/spool/squid OK, but not in
/var/spool/squid2

I had a (working) cache on a machine with FC2, newinstalled to FC3,
squid did not work but I blew away the cache.

Same error with only one cache_dir entry.

Works fine with no cache_dir entry or only one entry of the default
/var/spool/squid
