Bullwinkle,
I don't think that you will find anything that will do what you want. Sorry.
Can you suspend a corrugated roofing "ceiling" below the deck?
Otherwise I think that you will need a system that encorporates a membrane, whether under tile or a wear surface or a roofing membrane (this option not to be walked on).
The oakum needs to stay wet in order to seal. When it dries it will shrink back until it becomes saturated again, leaking in the mean time.
Sealing the seams in the deck is really impractical, as the deck boards will move constantly from heat expansion, wetting and drying, etc. etc.
Good luck, Dan
