Basement Insulation Vapor Barrier

I am finishing a room in my basement and was wondering about vapor barrier. It is a walkout with some walls (all block) entirely above grade. I "dry lock" painted the interior then glued 3/4 TG foam on block then built 2x4 walls on top of dricore flooring then fiberglass ins (no vb) in the stud cavity. I noticed that moisture has condensed on the foam behind the fiberglass. I'm guessing that I should be using a vb. I thought the foam would be warm enough to stop condensation. The house was built in 2007 we are in north central Ohio. Any ideas?
