Try:

     <... tal:repeat="folder portal_object.contentValues('Folder')" >

because:

  - tal:repeat needs to have an iteration variable (you probably
    really already knew this, or else your templates wouldn't
    even compile).

  - 'objectValues' is the "stock" Zope API, and takes one or a sequence
    of meta_types;  'contentValues' is the CMF cognate, which takes one
    or a sequence of portal_types.  The objects you are interested in
    are likely CMF PortalFolders, which have a meta_type of 'Portal
    Folder' and a portal_type (by default) of 'Folder'.
