The dump thing is not a problem. By default, MCNP does a dump at the start of the run, and another at the end. And, depending on the settings and options, it may do additional dumps during the run.
The dump file contains information that may be useful for other purposes. For example, it may be useful in debugging or in re-starting a run to add more particles.
It will also print out additional information at each dump. You should be aware that there may be, for example, multiple reports of tallies. So the first (and all but the last, as there can be several) report of a tally may happen before all of your particles have been run.
You can control some of the dump process using the PRDMP card. Read up in the user manual about this card. It can be very useful when you are doing debug on a model.

The question has been sorted. The dump file is normal operation. There are no error messages in the output file produced.
