To answer some of the posts:

I have 2 bathroom vents on the second floor. Both are ducted to
exterior (I know because 1 of them was not; I had them fix this last
year when I noticed it). But I will be taping the connections as well
as sealing the fixtures against the ceiling.

Sealing up that duct work would be wise, I think.

The chimney does not run through the attic air space - its all exterior
to the building.

No crawl space; its a poured foundation.

I have forced hot water heating only - no air ducts/no central
air/etc...

Thanks for the suggestions so far! Thankfully none of these additional
things seem to apply to my house. Any thoughts on my vapor barrier
(insulation) question? Should this be happening given the current
state of the attic as I've described?

So where do you think this water is coming from? Clearly, it's
coming from somewhere. I have a hard time imagining this is
caused by condensation from the cold outside air. As I recall,
the humidity is not terribly high in Mass at this time of year.
But maybe this a beachside property?

Of course, you live there and know the situation far better
than me/us. Do you think that moisture is entering via the
cold outside air? If not, keep looking (really hard) for some
other source.
