Yeah thats exactly right...
You set Squid to listen on (localhost only) port 3128... DG will talk to 
squid via 3128 but DG itself will listen on 8080.

 From your conf file
=================================================
# the port that DansGuardian listens to.
filterport = 8080

# the ip of the proxy (default is the loopback - i.e. this server)
proxyip = 127.0.0.1

# the port DansGuardian connects to proxy on
proxyport = 3128
=================================================

All requests are then answered by DansGuardian.... DG should be the only 
thing able to talk to squid or your filtering can be easily bypassed by 
connecting to squid directly.

(Internet)-->{(squid:3128)-->(DansGuardian:8080)}<:80-->(Clients)

so yeah redirect to port 8080 and if it's still not working we will need 
to have a look at your squid.conf file.
