I attached a netname to a net in a subsheet. The netlist produced by
gsch2pcb contained this netname prefixed wuth the refdes of the sub sheet
symbol. So the netname is local to the sub sheet.

This did not work for me. The netname attribute did not affect the net of
the power pin, even if I included the pin number (netname=foo:1). I also
tried to no avail to include the netname attribute into the symbol. 

How about a "global" attribute, that make a net explicitely global?
