Hey, I had some issues with this aswell. You can type:

open path/file.txt -a "Sublime Text"

This worked for me at least. I use Sublime Text 3, but it should be the same thing.

EDIT: Made a boo boo, the open command is on OSX. In windows you would use either 

start "Sublime Text" path/file.file

or

edit "Sublime Text" path/file.file

For more information see: Superuser

Can you try the command without the open?

So:

path/file.txt -a "Sublime Text"

I'm sorry, but then I can't help you. Unless you want to open Sublime Text and press open file.
