For 2cbf to work with the LIB= option, it is mandatory to have a filename like test_123456.xy, i.e. with a 6-digit number and a 2-letter extension. If you want to use LIB= and your filenames do not follow this pattern, just symlink them, and construct the symlinks accordingly.
Single-line example (bash shell):
for i in ../images/*img ; do echo $i; echo $i `basename $i`.cbf | 2cbf ; done
This converts all .img files in ../images to miniCBF files with the extension .img.cbf in the current directory.
