Hmmmmm. Are you adjusting the bearing by hand? Thats what I do. Then turn the lock nut by hand until it meets the cone. Once they meet, the axle shoudn't turn as you move both wrenchs in opposite directions to one another.
Does the locknut spin feely on the axle, or are the threads a little tweaked, causing it to drag and bite the axle?
