Brad,

Looks like you've been using the same script for quite a while, and
using an old version of bogofilter, as well!

The "-2" option was deprecated (compiled out by default) in version
0.16.0 on 1 Jan 2004.  The code was removed in version 0.17.0 (1 Feb
2004).

If you want two-state scoring, set ham_cutoff to 0 via config file, i.e.
"ham_cutoff=0.0", or bogofilter option, i.e. "--ham_cutoff=0.0".

HTH,

David
