What precisely happens, when it is not displayed?

  *  do you see all folders owned by "admin" and the others are missing?

     This seems unbelievable, given the code above.

  *  do you see nothing but get an "Unauthorized" exception
     (browser login screen).

     This would indicate a permission problem.
     It probably is caused by the attempt to access something non-public
     outside of "myportal".

You do not tell us, what the "description field" is.
I expect, it is a property. In this case, you use "manage_changeProperties"
to change its value (documented in: embedded Zope Online help
-> Zope Help -> API Documentation -> PropertyManager).
