Should I vent the space between a block wall and vapor barrier?

I bought my house about a year ago and I recently took out 4 of the exisiting basement walls. 3 of which where exterior and 1 was just dividing the finished area and utilites. I found mold behind the wood paneling, sheetrock, 2x4 wood studs, and fiberglass insulation. The old walls were just about touching the block walls and had no barrior between them. I now am going to put 4 new walls up (same as before 3 exterior, 1 dividing). I use Drylok so far on all the exterior walls follwoing the instructions.

现在我计划安装一个蒸汽屏障使用6密耳塑料和保持新墙几英寸的块。我担心的是通过Drylok的湿气被蒸汽屏障阻挡了。我没有法式排水管,也没有任何排水管系统。我相信我说的是对的,砖块和屏障之间的空间必须呼吸才能让湿气变干。

我有一个想法,把除湿器由公用设施和运行管道工作(板水平)周围3墙)。我需要运行管道工作还是除湿器能够拉22英尺,使一个90英尺,另一个22英尺,再90英尺,然后再22英尺?顶部32英寸的块是外部,如果这使一个不同,我只是不想我的新工作被毁。另外,我从第一天就开始看了,我能看到的地下室没有漏水,演示之后下雨了,仍然没有水。
