Hi Jana,

I have just done a test run on my pc based on your input. Your input seems 
working fine that I manage to get the output of delta dipole moment and 
etc, saved into the files as defined. You may refer to the attached input 
file and output file (only few MD steps), for your reference. I am using 
CP2K 2.3 and you can find its details in the output file
