[mv] Shipping @@TOTAL@@

I am having endless problems calculating shipping. For some reason the
@@TOTAL@@ used in the f (function) calculation in the shipping.asc database
doesnt work. Forexample using the following shipping table:

code    description     criteria        min     max     formula query   opt
0       No shipping     quantity        0       99999999        f @@TOTAL@@
* .05
default No shipping     quantity        0       99999999        f @@TOTAL@@
* .05
upsg    UPS Ground      quantity        0       99999999        f @@TOTAL@@
* .05

The resulting shipping cost comes out to .05 * number of items in the
shopping cart not .05 * the total cost. The same happens no matter what the
function is. @@TOTAL@@ always seems to resolve to the number of items not
the total cost. Can anyone give me the expression to calculate a percentage
of the total?

Thanks in advance,
Lee
