Phil already sorted out the crucial things, but I’d like to make a few 
more recommendations for structuring your code:

%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"

aux = {
  \time 6/8
}
one = \relative {
  c''2. | c2.
  <bes des f>2.~ | q % ‘q’ repeats the previous chord
}
two = \relative {
  \clef bass
  ges,2. | f
}

\new StaffGroup <<
  \aux
  \new Staff \one
  \new Staff \two
>>
%%%%%%%%%%%

This gives you a more robust, more legible structure.

Best, Simon
