cache_manager access (any access, really) is already allowed to 
ncsa_users, no matter if they are accessing from localhost, 
88.xxx.xxx.xx9 or any other IP.  You might want to have a gander at the 
FAQ section on ACLs (http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl).

Doesn't the fact that the manager needs a password in previous config lines mean that they can't access it?
the ncsa_users is only for http access?
