Thanks for the reply. I tried it this way already. If you sum up the 
vectors  of the WFC and the  atomic coordinates with respect to the 
oxygen then you get the dipole moment... The values don't differ that 
much.  The way with the default values delivers 2.79D and the other one 
2.82D. There must be something different I guess...
