1). You need a closing " character to complete the else clause from
the first %if.

2) 'Group' mailing? You mean an ordinary mail to an address book
group? Or do you mean mass mailing? If the former, then no surprise,
it won't work. You need to do a "mass mailing" to make this work and
the condition should go into the mass mailing template. If you're
already doing that, then I have no idea what might be going wrong.

You could try "dumping" values from the template to find out what
it's seeing and thinking...

%%AbTOCountry="%AbTOCountry"
%if:"%AbTOCountry"="a":"%attachfile=^d:\temp\acentres.xls^":"%-
%if:'%AbTOCountry'='b':'%attachfile=^d:\temp\acentres-intl.xls^':'

The dump syntax will result in the output of:
%AbTOCountry="x"
into the body of the message.
