If a person makes a covenant with Allah to abandon something forbidden, then commits it, then offers expiation for that covenant, and continues to commit the forbidden act, is he accountable only for the sin of disobedience, or for both the sin of disobedience and breaking the covenant?

If the vow is in the form of permanence and continuity, then the one who swore the oath incurs sin and expiation every time he commits the forbidden act. However, if it is not in the form of continuity, then he incurs the sin of disobedience without expiation.
