Excellent :-)

Hmm.. Ok... Are you sure your squidGuard ACLs are set correctly and that in
squid.conf squidGuard is using the correct config file?

>From my squid.conf:
redirect_program /usr/bin/squidGuard -c
/etc/chastity/squidGuard-chastity.conf

Initially installed chastity as a starting point for our blocklists.

IIRC the default squidGuard conf might pass everything by default...
Heres a snippet from ours:
Acl {
        default {
                pass !adult !audio-video !forums !hacking !redirector !warez
!ad
s !aggressive !drugs !gambling !violence all
                redirect
http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/squidGuard.cgi?clientaddr=%a&s
rcclass=%s&clientuser=%i&clientname=%n&clientgroup=%s&targetclass=%t&targetg
roup
=%t&url=%u

        }
}

HTH!
Mark.
