Something more like this?
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
<match key="input.originating_device" contains="i8042_AUX_port">
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.hardware.vendor" string="VMware, Inc.">
<append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-probe-vmmouse</append>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
