Why didn't the other Jedi know that Vader was Anakin?

Obviously Vader/Anakin had a massive presence in the Force, so why didn't some of the other force users who encountered him (like Ahsoka, Maul, Jocasta Nu etc) immediately know that Vader was actually Anakin? He masked his appearance, but he couldn't have masked his force presence.

A few reasons.
1.) Everything about Anakin changed when he turned to the dark side... Even his existence in the Force was corrupted/altered.
2.) The overwhelming dark side presence in the galaxy obscured the Jedi's senses.

You reckon that's what Mace was getting at when he said "Our ability to use the Force has diminished"?

yes. the Dark Side had clouded their ability to see the future which is why Yoda says they should keep it under wraps because only Sidious would've known about the massive shift in the Force
