You should use

cloned_interfaces="carp0 carp1"

In your config everything before final cloned_interfaces= line gets forgotten. 
rc.conf is evaluated line by line, sourced in various scripts.
Generally, you should not use more than one line with the same 'key' (variable 
name) in rc.conf, unless you are specifically utilize mentioned feature. I 
did it couple of time when I wanted note new configuration but not yet 
activate it... but you can achieve the same using '#' comments.
