i converted a 12x24 semi-attached garage into living space 6 years
ago. On the 'crete floor I had painted, then a layer of 4mil plastic,
then a layer of bluefoam insulation, then 3/4 particle board (used
the blue screws to secure the boards), then commercial carpet.

The carpet is moist and the room smells like a stagnant locker-room. I
ridge vented, but the trouble is (now) obviously that the concrete is
leeching ground-moisture upwards. So.. Ill take up the particle board
and do what?

I'd float the floor on 1x's but they'l rot.. Any Ideas?

Dirt is defiantly correct. Common concrete is not water proof. You may
need to lower the water table around the pad.
