It's just [[{GroupAttributes$PageUrl}?action=attr | Group Attributes]],
and you'd have to be running 2.1.beta15 or later in order for it
to work ({$PageUrl} didn't exist in 2.0).

But even in 2.0.12 you ought to be able to write an explicit url:

    [[http://www.example.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n={$Group}.GroupAttributes&action=attr | Group Attributes]]
