Your installation process is fine.  The UHD side of things is fine.

But, the DBSRX2 is *only* supported from the UHD API--the "classic" API
doesn't support the DBSRX2.
  Many of the *example* programs in Gnu Radio still use the "classic"
interface.

Trying using, for example, "uhd_fft.py" and you'll find that it works
fine.   You'll also find that
  using GRC, with UHD Usrp source/sink blocks, everything will be fine.
