Then there's something wrong. It should look like this:

# moused -f -d -p /dev/ums0
moused: unable to open /dev/ums0: Device busy

# ps ax | grep mouse
  646  ??  Is     0:03.63 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I /var/run/mou

# kill -9 646

# moused -f -d -p /dev/ums0

# moused -p /dev/ums0

(I just started moused again manually, sufficient.)

Everything is done as root, of course.
