Are you using Tools --> Out of Office...?
That does not require Entourage to be running. If you quit Entourage,
does it get disabled?
What happens if you set the message using Outlook Web Access (OWA)? Does
it stay enabled or does it eventually get disabled?

Quit Entourage and leave it quit. Set your Out of Office in Outlook Web
Access (OWA). Does it stay enabled there or does it eventually get
disabled? This will tell us if the problem is closer to Entourage or to
your Exchange server.
If it remains enabled then launch Entourage and go to Entourage menu -->
Switch Identities... Create a new test identity. Set up your Exchange
account again and test Out of Office. Does the same thing happen?
Does this happen with Entourage on a completely different computer?
