So what might be causing this issue?
Unless you're running devfs or udev, this doesn't mean that /dev/input/mice actually exists as a device. /dev/input/mice is a HID thing, so you might check that. If your mouse _isn't_ a usb HID device, try pointing it to /dev/psaux
mdetect says it detects /dev/psaux, so I changed it to that, and it works now.
Thanks.
