This software appears to expect that the account "squid" is used as the
cache_effective_user. I'd change the setup.py script to use the
cache_effective_user that matches my system (and file a bug report with
the videocache maintainer to have this account automatically deduced
from the squid.conf file).

Your other option would be to create a "squid" account, change
cache_effective_user to "squid" and change permissions for the files the
Squid needs accordingly.
