Does the mib-file SQUID-MIB.txt have any IMPORTS stanzas?  LoadMIBS is
not smart enough to follow those on its own.  You need to specify them
before the mib.

For example, lets say that SQUID-MIB had imports from OCTOPUS-SMI-MIB.
You would need to do:

LoadMIBS: /usr/share/snmp/mibs/OCTOPUS-SMI-MIB.txt /usr/share/snmp/mibs/SQUID-MIB.txt
