It sounds to me like you hit the nail on the head! I see you're a coastal Canadian which means you're dealing with humid, cool winter air. It sounds like the metal behind the wood panelling is gathering condensation and it's leaching into the wood as well as dribbling down onto the floor. With that in mind, about the only thing you can do to keep that humid, cold winter air from condensing on the metal is to insulate well with a vapour barrier. Spray foam is the ultimate solution since it does both jobs and leaves no gaps.
I see that you already have an interior built. Is it easily removed (without destroying it) to add insulation?

Since the wood stove will be drying out the air, it may be worthwhile to pop a couple computer fans down there.
