(Assuming instUUID is a string)

Without knowing what "dparse.dataMain" refers to, I can only speculate:
If dparse is a class name and dataMain a static method, or dparse is a namespace name and dataMain a function :
  boost::thread dataThread(&dparse::dataMain,instUUID);

If dparse is an instance name and dataMain is a non-static method, you have to pass the instance to call:
  boost::thread dataThread(&TypeOfdparse::dataMain, dparse, instUUID)

HTH,
