Is it ok to tile travetine on to a ply wall? And if so with what sort of adhesive

What would you suggest to go on the floor then as a dpm, bearing in mind that the floor is reading above 20% on a damp test meter and it's solid wood floor that needs gluing down. I am reluctant to spend money on a liquid dpm if this isn't going to adhere.
