There is a chance you are losing mortar as a result of the damp course breaking down. I would suggest before you consider repointing that you have it looked at first. Bunnings will have pre mixed bagged stuff you can use to repoint with but I don't know if it is OK to use it against what is probably lime mortar. Someone else may comment on that.

Sounds as though you need to get the dampcourse sorted out first as its failed by the sounds of it.
