I assume you mean nothing is spraying into the black tank? This old hyperlink may help......but they don't say how they cleared the line blockage.

I really hate to ask this...
Is your dump valve open?

Did it ever work? Same thing happened on my new Windsport 29M. Turned out they installed it backwards at the factory. Dealer flipped it around and ok.

San t flush

The fitting where you connect the hose has a one way valve in it. If you connected a dirty hose the debris will clog and jam the valve. Remove the fitting and blow out from rear. In my case I got tired of clearing it so I just tapped the valve out of the fitting and no more issues. I use a hose washer with a screen just for safety.

Wow! I wish mine had a one way valve. Then I wouldn't have to deal with the anti-reflux addition to my hose that I attach to the San-T input. The water drains back out of ours for a while after we disconnect the hose, so I am pretty sure that we didn't get a one way valve in ours.

There is not, and should not, be a one way valve on a flush line. It is designed to back flow from the anti-siphon valve to the connection. If yours has a one way valve at the connection someone screwed up and defeated the purpose.
