They are real objects but they behave differently from the standard
Zope objects.

You can use
   <dtml-with "localfs_object['localfs_subobject']">
     <dtml-var bobobase_modification_time>
   </dtml-with>

At least the "Local File System" object does not expose
its children via "getattr" (which is required for the
usual "." operator to work) but only via "[...]".

This probably is a bug.
