Hello,
The Repeat option works only with shapes/vector art. It doesn't work with pixel objects like jpg & png images or psd files.
You can use the transform commands (Transform each - Transform again ... etc) with these kind of pixel objects.

You can learn more about the repeat command below:

So If You can basicly create pattern in illustrator using bitmaps (illustrator can make copies of bitmaps) we need to get this in future updates

As has already been said: turn it into a symbol. Then you can repeat an image.

If you don't mind to embed the raster image, you can convert it into a symbol. After that the various Repeat functions should work.
