This looks as if you would have your list in a hidden variable
of the form

   <input name="bt:list" type="hidden" value="&dtml-bt;">

When this arrives at the Zope server, you will get a list with
one string that respresents the former list as a string.

You need instead:

   <dtml-in br>
     <input name="bt:list" type="hidden" value="&dtml-sequence-item;">
   </dtml-else>
     <input name="bt:tokens" type="hidden" value="">
   </dtml-in>

   i.e. each list element must gets its one "input" control.
