Joe,
 Sorry, that should be a 52 if its weekly data.  You might not need a
constant with the differencing, so the noconstant option should be used.
But the mma parameter should be mma(1,52).
 Also, the robust option might be good if your series is somewhat
heteroskedastic.
   Regards,
 - Bob Yaffee
