In the version of xboard you have, the correct syntax is
xboard -lgf "<filename> 2"
This causes the 2 to be included as part of the lgf option value
instead of being taken as a separate argument. Since this is
confusing and not really explained in the man page, I changed it a
while ago. I don't remember in which patchlevel I changed it.
In the current version of xboard, the syntax is
xboard -lgf <filename> -lgi 2
The -lgi is short for -loadGameIndex.
