I checked the premissions on /var/logs/squid3/, where everything is owned by 
proxy:proxy (access.log, cache.log etc...)
I ran the squid3 -k rotate, the rotations worked well anyway.
One more thing when the Pc which host the squid, use itself as a proxy, the 
access.log populate

So the squid app seems to work properly, it seems the problem come from the 
iptables which not redirect to the squid.
On more thing I don't know why but a ps aux | grep squid give this:
root      1456  0.0 0.1 43176 1732  ?      Ss Jan09 0:00 /usr/sbin/squid3 -YC 
-f /etc/squid3/squid.confproxy    1465  0.0 1.6 80284  17172  ?   S Jan09  0:27 
(squid)  -YC -f  /etc/squid3/squid.conf

Do you know why I have 2 squid processes? (i have installed squid3, just with 
an "apt-get install squid3" )
cheers
