Try the RBD Tools attched. I had the same problem (in Maya 2009 32bit WindowsXP 
SP3) and the dynamicaBake script worked. 

I found it here:

which version of Dynamica are you using?

I just tried the latest Dynamica svn trunk version, and baking works fine under 
Maya 2011/2012.

I'm getting issue #2 as well. Also using Maya 2009 Windows XP 32bit. Can't help 
there, as for UI glitches/warnings...

To fix issue #1. In the dynamicaUI.mel script, look for the 
dynamicaUI_createHelpTab procedure and change the following...

dynamicaUI_createFrame("Credits", "", 0, 0);
            text -al "left" -l "Original Plugin: Walt Disney Studios";
            text -al "left" -l "Original Author: Nicola Candussi";
            text -al "left" -l "Modified By: Roman Ponomarev, Erwin Coumans";
            text -al "left" -l "Tools, Features, UI & Maintenance: Michael Baker";
            text -al "left" -l "Original Baking Scripts: RBD";
            setParent ..;
        setParent ..;

to...

dynamicaUI_createFrame("Credits", "", 0, 0);
            columnLayout;
                text -al "left" -l "Original Plugin: Walt Disney Studios";
                text -al "left" -l "Original Author: Nicola Candussi";
                text -al "left" -l "Modified By: Roman Ponomarev, Erwin Coumans";
                text -al "left" -l "Tools, Features, UI & Maintenance: Michael Baker";
                text -al "left" -l "Original Baking Scripts: RBD";
                setParent ..;
            setParent ..;
        setParent ..;

PS. If you also having trouble with the "Toggle Advanced Tools Tab" reporting 
an invalid flag, in the dynamicaToolsUI.mel, do a search for "-fpn" (it's near 
the top and there is only one instance of it) and remove it - the flag doesn't 
exist in 2009/2010.

So this line becomes this line...

string $tabs[] = `tabLayout -q -tl -fpn $dynamicaUI_tabs`;

becomes...

string $tabs[] = `tabLayout -q -tl $dynamicaUI_tabs`;

dynamicaUI.mel#612

There are already 3 times 'setParent ..; in the current source code.
What do you need to change exactly?

The setParent on line 622 parents all the UI elements in the procedure to the 
columnLayout on line 580. The additional setParent is to parent the text 
elements on lines 614-618.

Minus the commented code on lines 590-610, here is the edited procedure I'm 
using in order to properly display the UI in Maya 2009. I've placed an inline 
comment of where the new setParent should go. Note that I haven't checked this 
in M2011+

I hope that's of some help.

global proc string dynamicaUI_createHelpTab()
{   
    string $mainForm = `columnLayout -adj 1`;
        dynamicaUI_createFrame("Documentation & Resources", "View the online wiki documentation or bulletphysics.org", 0, 0);
            rowLayout -nc 2;
                iconTextButton -st "iconAndTextVertical" -l "Online Help" -w 75 -i "dynamicaHelp.xpm" 
                    -c "system(\"load http://code.google.com/p/dynamica/wiki/DynamicaIntroduction\")" -ann "View Online Documentation";
                iconTextButton -st "iconAndTextVertical" -l "bulletphysics.org" -w 90 -i "dynamicaBulletWebsite.xpm" 
                    -c "system(\"load http://bulletphysics.org\")" -ann "Visit bulletphysics.org";
            setParent ..;
        setParent ..;

        dynamicaUI_createFrame("Credits", "", 0, 0);
            columnLayout;
                text -al "left" -l "Original Plugin: Walt Disney Studios";
                text -al "left" -l "Original Author: Nicola Candussi";
                text -al "left" -l "Modified By: Roman Ponomarev, Erwin Coumans";
                text -al "left" -l "Tools, Features, UI & Maintenance: Michael Baker";
                text -al "left" -l "Original Baking Scripts: RBD";
                setParent ..; //This is the additional setParent needed for MAYA 2009/2010.
            setParent ..;
        setParent ..;

    setParent ..;

    return $mainForm;
}

Can't you update to a newer version of Maya?

I'm using Maya 2012 and baking just works fine with Dynamica.

I haven't been able to try Maya 2009 yet.

Here is another report of baking problems, with attached file.

It seems an old bug in Maya/MEL, when using the 'allNodeTypes' command:
Error: DSO <Debug.dll > failed to load properly or

Can you try copying attached mel script in your Dynamica scripts directory,
so avoid the DSO error?

Try increasing your substeps. This has made this one go away for me.
