Transparent proxying changed from squid 2.5 to 2.6. You probably just
need to remove all the httpd_accel* options and replace them with
  http_port 3128 transparent

See /usr/share/doc/squid/RELEASENOTES.html.gz for some more info.

That is the file on my Debian system, likely to exist in your Ubuntu
package. Otherwise I found a public version at
<http://sunsite.bilkent.edu.tr/pub/infosystems/Squid/Versions/v2/2.6/squid-2.6.STABLE1-RELEASENOTES.html>.
