[squid-users] cache dir keeps growing

I have just switched over my squid proxy from a FreeBSD server to Linux 2.4.7
squid 2.3.STABLE5, and what had worked before does no more. My cache just
keeps growning.

from squid.conf:
cache_dir ufs /squid 1024 16 256

[root@proxy]# df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6 241116 82260 146408 36% /
/dev/sda5 93309 7299 81193 8% /boot
/dev/sda10 1027768 44 975516 0% /home
/dev/sda11 11653788 2950000 8111796 27% /squid
/dev/sda8 3020140 374172 2492552 13% /usr
/dev/sda9 1027768 351920 623640 36% /var

I am currently using the GDSF replacement policy. The cachemgr storedir
section looks like this,

so evidently it thinks it is within bounds. What am I missing?

Thanks,
