Felix
please see (-h) but in general the option below

[--biflows-export-policy|-N] <pol>  | Bi-directional flows export policy:
                                    | 1 - export bi-directional flows only
                                    | 2 - export mono-directional flows only

allows you to export only biflows or uniflows. THis is not what you want to do 
(export bi-directional flows). To do so please
1. in the -T use at lest the basic information elements such as protocols and 
bytes. nprobe should have reported this in the startup log
2. you need to use both IN and OUT as in the example below

 nprobe -T "%IPV4_SRC_ADDR %IPV4_DST_ADDR %IN_PKTS %IN_BYTES %OUT_PKTS 
%OUT_BYTES %FIRST_SWITCHED %LAST_SWITCHED %L4_SRC_PORT %L4_DST_PORT %TCP_FLAGS 
%PROTOCOL ..."

Regards Luca

@Simone: please fix the nProbe manual
