If what you report about your firmware images is accurate, then they're
horribly out of date.

The build-gnuradio script will have downloaded the latest firmware
images, which you should program
  into your USRP2.

Also, you're using the wrong source block in GRC--you need a UHD block,
not a (traditional) USRP2
  block.  UHD has a completely different set of source/sink blocks than
"traditional", although the
  "traditional" blocks are still there in GRC.
