This is, to put it plainly, wrong :-)  ZAxisMapping belongs in an 
xorg.conf/XF86config file.  It looks like someone who didn't really 
understand what they were doing ran sysinstall and specified this with 
the internal quotes as a parameter to moused.  Garbage in, garbage out 
I'm afraid.  Take it out of rc.conf and put in in your X config file 
where it might do you some good (assuming you have a mouse wheel).
