Disarms work specifically on things "held" in the hand. Shields are strapped to the arm. A generous GM could let you attempt a disarm but it would be a huge penalty.
Not to be persnickety but there is no such thing as arm ST for PCs in DFRPG. My inclination is to allow striking ST anywhere it's relevant to combat and nowhere else.
