Apparently, the "JDiscuss_Folder_add" only looks on "REQUEST"
and not on the namespace.

Do you have control over it?
Then, you may change it.

Otherwise, you may try

	   <dtml-let REQUEST="{ ... your assignments ...}">
	     ....
	     <dtml-call "JDiscuss_Folder_add(_.None,_)">
	   </dtml-let>

May be difficult, as the true "REQUEST" is quite complex
and may be difficult to emulate in a dictionary sufficiently
for your "add".
