http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#ChecklistHandling describes a similar
case.

For minor (less than 5 minutes) subtasks like "Create folder, move mail
there", I would not want that to show up in my agenda, but only the
"real" task at hand: Archive Mail.

#+BEGIN_SRC org

* TODO Archive Mail [0/2]
   SCHEDULED: <2012-09-01 Sat +1m> 
   :PROPERTIES:
   RESET_CHECK_BOXES: t
   :END:

   - [ ] Read and archive all mail (orgmode, Sent)
   - [ ] Create monthly folder and move mail there

#+END_SRC

The entry should go back to TODO and SCHEDULED: <2012-10-01 Mon +1m> ...

What is your org-todo-keywords sequence?
Did you set org-todo-repeat-to-state? (Should not be necessary...)
