I tried that and it does not move from T 550.
I had the same issue as you before. You have a cgminer.conf file on your system somewhere which is overriding the command line. On a mac it is in a hidden .cgminer directory under the "users" folder. Not sure where it might be on windows or linux though. Once you find it change the "gekko-R606-freq" to whatever clock speed you want.
