You can not use it like that in rc.local, that way of SQUID starting is ment
to be used from the command line, and intended for problem solving tasks.
Use "squid -h" to understand the meaning of these flags
For rc.local just use :
_path_to_squid/squid
afterwards, check cache.log , watchout for FATAL errors, if

Whatever caused it, the only remedy was to power off and reboot with a
rescue disk & comment out the line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

We need to re-iterate ;
On the command line :
# squid -NCd 1
check whether this works, again.
Then just put startup command in rc.local the way I explained.
Check cache.log
