When you created the new share, assigned users, and enabled it for AFP (with those users), where you able to see that new share via AFP? (I know it's not the time machine private share, but sometimes taking a few steps backwards helps to clear the way forward.)
For reference, I have an MBP (old 2009 one) upgraded to El Cap. that sees private per-user time machine shares. It can see them even if I'm not signed in (but requires that I enter a username/password in order to actually use one.) I'm using that experience as the basis to try and help you.
You mentioned that SMB is enabled... but is AFP enabled? Time Machine works over AFP. If it is enabled, you might also (as a troubleshooting step) add AFP access to one of your other shares and check to see if your Mac(s) can see that share specifically over AFP. (I think the Mac will show something like "ShareName (AFP)" in Finder. )
Take care
