wrong answer

I have a simple (and incorrect queuer) that gives the wrong answer.
Can someone show me the correct syntax?
t
"select sum(s.ref), r.value, s.ref from registry as s
left join referralkey as r on (s.ref = r.cd)
group by s.ref, r.value order by r.value, s.ref"
sum | value | ref
------+-----------------+-----
3462 | A Friend | 3
150 | Bridal Guide | 6
33 | Coupon | 11

yet
qs "select count(*) from registry where ref =3"
count = 1154
qs "select count(*) from registry where ref=6"
count = 25
qs "select count(*) from registry where ref=11"
count = 3
thanks
