You may want to change a line to:

if abs(X) > 1 or abs(Y) > 1 or abs(Z) > 1 then exit

you are only detecting mouse movement to the right and down. So if you move mouse left or up, it does not currently exit.

mousemovex is the DIFFERENCE between last mouse co-ord and current mouse co-ord, so if you move mouse left 3 pixels, the mousemovex command returns -3. As you are only testing positive values your condition fails.

abs just turns negative values to positive values.
