Your cache_dir line says create a squid cache directory structure 255 wide by 
255 deep and allow it to grow up to 60G. Squid will continue to try and store 
objects into the directory structure until either 60G limit is reached or the 
filesystem - more like as not /var - runs out of space.
If it runs out of space squid is no longer able to write to its log files you 
configured in your squid.conf file. If it cannot write to the log file it 
cannot tell you want happened!

Do you want a nice simple solution?
Add a second hard drive and have squid create its 60G sized cache there.
Make certain logrotate is rotating the normal system logs  and asking squid to 
rotate its logs!

Use df and see just how fuch free space is really available in /var if it is a 
filesystem in its own right.

Another thought?
How many users are trying to access the 'net via this proxy that you want to 
store 60G in a 256 by 256 structure? Last time I looked through the docs and 
faq's there was a good write up on sizing the cache - both hard and soft.
