How does the private files folder need to be configured exactly?

Question

In settings.php I specified as /home/username/myfiles

Under Config > File System it shows the path, but when I add a file field to content, it does not show private upload as an option. I am wondering if it is because of how I specified the path? The path exists, and is writable. So I am confused.

Any ideas?
