Hi,
The account locking every 5 minutes is indicating 'something' tries to logon or run using the VSA.
I had this in the past, and it turned out there was a scheduled task somewhere which ran under the VSA, but did not have it's password changed. If I recall correct, the team managing AD was able to determine from where the attempts were made, which significantly assisted in resolving the issue.
I also had an issue long time ago, where the password was in the Cached Credentials (Credential Manager I believe). Once cleared, that also resolved it.
I'm not sure that you will find the cause of the locking in a dtrace file, as the account is locked due to improper using authentication.
In some cases your advice would have been the solution. Unfortunately, the disabled scheduled tasks didn't resolve the problem for us. After disabling the scheduled task, unlocking the VSA, the account was locked again within 15 minutes.

Hi again,
I assume you checked the scheduled tasks on the EV servers, but do you perhaps have scheduled tasks or scripts on other servers? I did some Googling, and found below two entries which assist in getting information on the source of the lockout.
These might assist in determining where the action originates, and gives you hopefully the pointer to resolving it.
