In an earlier post you were trying to conserve water by only flushing urine after a few uses. The forum suggested flushing after every use. Now that the dealer has supposedly cleared a clog are you still flushing after every use? Or are you now letting the yellow mellow in the bowl between uses?
When flushing does the fresh water appear to fully wash down the sides of the bowl?
Here's a thought to determine if the smell is leaking out of the black tank or if it is leftover in the bowl after flushing. Turn off the water supply and turn off the water pump. Hold the toilet flush open until the pressure is out of the lines. Now get a gallon of Pine Sol and carefully pour it all into the tank while somebody holds the flush valve open. Turn on the water supply and put some water in the toilet.
Run the vent fan and purge the Pine Sol smell out of the bathroom. Let it all sit in the heat and come back later and check for smell. Do you smell Pine Sol after a few hours?
