I have no idea if this would work, but try changing the mouse_protocol to
mouse_device /dev/input/mice
mouse_protocol usb
before trying that- check to see if /dev/input/mice exists
If you are using benh's kernel, that might be it.
If it doesn't exist, then don't bother...
if protocol usb doesn't work, try ps2 or imps2
NOTE: THIS ANSWER IS JUST A WILD-ARSE GUESS
I have never configured or run mol on a PB, let alone a pismo...
