As an example of possibilities, I got this scheme to work on my sandbox:

# put this in your condor config file:
SUBMIT_EXPRS = AccountingGroup
AccountingGroup = strcat(GroupName, ".", ifThenElse(regexps("(.*)\.(.*)", Owner, "\1_\2") =!= "", regexps("(.*)\.(.*)", Owner, "\1_\2"), Owner))

# add this to your job file:
+GroupName = "group.subgroup"

Condor will automatically construct "AccountingGroup" from GroupName and Owner, with "." in Owner replaced by "_"

The best solution will probably depend on who (or what) is currently setting the "+AccountingGroup" value in your job submission files.
