Excerpt from the SquidGaurd FAQ:

squidGuard does not block? 

    There my be at least 2 reasons for this: 
    
    You didn't end your pass rules with "none". Pass rules ends with an
    implicit "all". It is good practice to allways en the pass rules
    with either "all" or "none" to make them clear. Ie. use: 
    pass good none
    or 
    pass good !bad all
    squidGuard goes into emergency mode. Reasons may be syntax errors in
    the config file, reference to non existing database files,
    filprotection problems or missing directories. Check the squidGuard
    log. 
    Note:When run under Squid, squidGuard is run with the same user and
    group ID as Squid (cache_effective_user and  cache_effective_group
    in squid.conf). The squidGuard configuration and database files must
    be readable for this user and/or group and the squidGuard log
    directory must be writable for this user and/or group. If not
    squidGuard will go into the "pass all for all" emergency mode.
