See option

[--sample-rate|-S] <pkt rate>:<flow collection rate>:<flow export rate>

In your case you can do:

-S 1:2000:3000

So nprobe will scale up incoming flows by a factor 2000, that is, if an 
incoming flow has 100 IN_BYTES, it will be scaled up to 200 000 IN_BYTES.

Then, nprobe will send out 1 every 3 000 flows it has received from the 
collector.

NOTE that will this approach the final collector will end up having one flow 
out of (1/2000)x(1/3000) = 6 Million flows. So I am not sure this is really 
what you want.

If 1:3000 is the final sampling rate with reference to the original cisco, then 
you can get close to it using 

-S 1:2000:1
or
-S 1:2000:2

The exact number would be 1.5 but only integer numbers are allowed

yes

no
