You forgot to read the TALES documentation ;-)

  There is only a small set of built in variables that can be accessed
  directly in ZPT-TALES, e.g. "here", "container", "template", "user", ...

  All other objects must be accessed indirectly via expressions
  starting in these built in variables.

You should be able to access "listObjects" by "container.listObjects".
"here.listObjects" would probably work, too.
