So you run the air conditioner and the dehumidifier at the same time, correct?

I have another idea: There's a small door to the attic in the upstairs ceiling, about 24" x 24". I could open that door so maybe the AC and a dehumidifier might cool and dry the air up there, and dry out anything that might be damp? Disadvantage: hot humid air in the upstairs living space, but I'm not using the upstairs now.

The attic and underside of the sheathing were inspected when the tarp was installed, and no damage was found. But as someone mentioned to me in a private message, condensation may be collecting under the tarp and getting into the sheathing.

Some nice dry, cool, sunny days sure would help.
