This works for me:

A DTML method in the root folder named 'DD' contains:

<!--#var standard_html_header-->

<dtml-in stuff>
  <dtml-var sequence-item>
</dtml-in>

<!--#var standard_html_footer-->

(Note that that you can mix DTML sytax for no good reason).

If I call it like:
>>> Client.call('http://aldous:10080/DD', stuff=['one', 'two'])

It works dandy:

Client.call('http://aldous:10080/DD', stuff=['one', 'two'])
(<mimetools.Message instance at 80d39e0>,
'<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Zope</TITLE></HEAD><BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">\012\012 
one\012  two\012\012<p><a href="http://www.zope.org/Credits"><img
src="http://aldous/p_/ZopeButton" width="115" height="50" border="0"
alt="Powered by Zope"></a></p>\012</BODY></HTML>')
>>> 

Note that it iterated over the 'stuff' list and rendered two items,
'one' and 'two'.

Is the thing you're calling expecting 'att' to be a sequence?
