Dear Lulu,
Without seeing your transcripts, I can’t say exactly what is wrong. However, if you run this similar command on the CharlotteEng folder in the YipMatthews corpus, you get good results:
freq +t*CHI +s"[- yue]" *.cha
The idea is that this will include all words on the [- yue] lines including those with @s, although the latter are pretty rare. If you want to exclude those, just add –s”*@s”

Dear Lulu,
I think you want +s:[- zho]” in this case, not –s”[- zho]” When I run
freq +s"[- yue]" +t*CHI *.cha +u
on CharlotteEng, I get both the English words marked as @s and the Cantonese.

Dear Lulu,
In that case, you can add the +l switch which marks each word overtly for its language. The command that would work for CharlotteEng is:
freq +l +s*@s:eng *.cha +u +f +t*CHI

Lulu,
The +l option has a bug that will fail for some of your data
words. The problem is with words that have $ character as in your
example word "this@s$n". I have fixed this bug and I will install
new CLAN on childes web site later today.You will need to get and
install new CLAN on your computer. The +s option would be "+s*@s:eng*" in your
case. If you want to see what CLAN sees when +l option is used,
then try "kwal +d +l *.cha" command.
Leonid.

Lulu,
FREQMERG is not meant to produce totals. It is just a very simplified subset version of FREQ command. You can get the same effect with FREQ command:
freq +u +o3 *.cha
