Even though I haven't used quartus_pgm with the PFL there should be no difference from doing regular programming. Have you tried to save the CDF file from the quartus_pgmw GUI? Just save the CDF file as jtag_pfl.cdf (or similar). Then you should be able to do: 

quartus_pgm -c "USB-BlasterII on 192.168.1.115  " jtag_pfl.cdf

Replace the cable argument with whatever cable you are using. Also, I prefer to replace the absolute path with a relative path in the CDF file. This way I can check out from git, build, and program anywhere.
