Yes, I had condensation problems also.  It helped when I started
sleeping 'upside down' with my head in the foot next to the door.  more
netting down by the head!  The bottom of my bag & the outsides would get
condensation from the walls, but it never seemed to be a problem, and
I've got a down bag.  It has a water resistant stuff on the shell, so
that must have helped.  I just mopped it up and let it sit outside while
I rolled everything else up.  It generally evap'd enough by then.   
Generally, I just got used to it and hoped it would get better as the
weather got warmer.  One of those tradeoffs for the weight benefit.  I
also know I sweat alot while sleeping, so I'm sure much of the water
came from all of me, not just breathing.  Guess i'm going to look into
some VBL liner stuff maybe..
