It seems that you are in fact receiving flows. But try this command instead:

/usr/bin/flow-receive 0/0/2055 | flow-print

And see what you get. In order to print received flow-files from
flow-capture, remember that you have to use flow-cat to first concatenate
the data and then pipe it to flow-print or similar.

flow-cat /var/log/netflow | flow-print
