What are the Options for the AFP share for your Time Machine Dataset? You also have to mount the Dataset before you select it in Time Machine. I followed the default instructions in the 8.0.3 User guide and was able to use Time Machine just fine in 10.7.3 with no configuration on the Mac side except for mounting the AFP Share and selecting in the Time Machine Preference Pane.
