The problem seems to be a bug in webmin.

1) Squid does not require disk cache. It will run fine these days using
memory as the cache (faster even sometimes).
   Thus the directive is commented out by default to prevent beginners
from having to fiddle around with squid -z and directory configurations
just to start Squid.

2) Squid -z was just informing that there were no cache disk directories
to be formatted according to the squid.conf.

3) Running squid -z without any configured disk cache will have no
effect other than printing that message.
