When you get to choose folder, try an alt+down-arrow to expand the list 
and then you can use left and right arrow keys to expand and collapse 
the folders. I know you can up and down arrow through your root folders 
without using the alt+down-arrow to expand the list first, but it seems 
like you need to expand the list before you can get to the sub folders.
