I am having issues configuring DansGuardian to filter https traffic.

Is there a way to force https traffic to go through a DansGuardian filter?

HTTPS provides an encrypted channel from end to end (S in HTTPS is for SSL; Secure Sockets Layer). So no, there's no way to inspect the contents of anything over an HTTPS connection. That's the whole purpose of it in the first place!

While it's my understanding that it's not ready for prime-time just yet, there is a fork of DansGuardian in the works called Archangel, which will filter BOTH HTTP AND HTTPS websites. For more information, take a look at its homepage at its Google Code homepage and its Sourceforge page.
