That is not an error, it's just verbose display of one of the items
in the dump.

You would need to show us the actual errors. (Suggestion:
leave off --verbose, it's just clutter.) A guess though is
that the import failed because of foreign key constraints.
--data-only mode is not good at ordering the table loads to
ensure that FK constraints are satisfied on-the-fly.
