 The examples you are using are designed strictly for a USRP1, using 
the "classic" interface.  You have presumably modified your USRP2
   for "UHD", which does not interoperate with programs using the 
"classic" API.

I believe Tom Rondeau is busy working on updating most of the important 
examples to use UHD, which will allow, among other things,
  the ability to use *any* of the USRP hardware, more-or-less 
seamlessly with most of the examples.
