First, for God's sake, don't name the file "ruffian.bat".  :)

Second, -queen looks wrong.  The program should get to choose the promotion

Finally, to run that you need to type "./ruffian.bat"

if you are using a C-shell, type "which xboard" to see if it is finding xboard
and that it is getting the right one...
