It's not so much what you're missing as what you have extra.  Try:

<xsl:variable select="'GAASIB0'" name="modelic"/>
<xsl:copy-of
select="doc('dmcmapping.xml')/searchReplace/smodelic[@val=$modelic]"/>

The XSLT spec (and, consequently, Mulberry's XSLT quick reference [1]) has
'{' and '}' in the prototypes of attributes where AVTs are meaningful.

Based on your example, you should also be able use 'current()' [2] to do:

<xsl:copy-of
select="doc('dmcmapping.xml')/searchReplace/smodelic[@val=current()/modelic]"/>
