That was pretty stupid of me - blindly copied from the example.

However, I still have the same problem. I have changed the db file as
suggested (and checked permissions). I have also tried removing the db
option altogether:

external_acl_type ext_session_acl ttl=60 %SRC /usr/lib/squid3/ext_session_acl -t 7200

But still get the error.
