Had that moisture issue in a past house. At the corners just as you said. It kinda looks like a Christmas tree where it's narrow at the top and gets wider near the floor. I found the moisture occured only where there was a downspout. The spout ends were only the stubs about 4 inches long. I added three foot extenders to them and that problem was immediately cured! I also painted the wall with Add-Rock. Went on with a wall paper paste brush. Very heavy and gave a textured look and feel, just as Pushkins says. Didn't have anymore problems after that. Oh yeah, the walls were already painted and a lot of that was flaking off due to the fluorescing from the water. Had to scrape and wire brush 'till I met hard surface, painted or not.
