Could you try it like so(and let us know):
/usr/bin/suricata --pfring -c
/etc/suricata/peter-yaml/suricata-pfring.yaml -D -v

and in the suricata.yaml (pfring section) you should have the
different interfaces defined with a different cluster id.

Which pf_ring ver do you use?
Which Suricata ver do you use?
