Make sure the password file you created is readable by the
user squid runs as. If not, fix it and try again.

If that wasn't it, or you're still having problems, post
the auth_param lines from your squid.conf and the output
of the following:

ps ax | grep -c "ncsa_auth"

Make sure squid is running when you run that command - it
counts the number of running ncsa_auth processes.
