Transfer of money from different gnu cash files

Is there a particular reason why you want to have two separate files?

I also have assets, income and expenses in more than one country but use a
single set of accounts because like you there is not a distinct separation
and there are times when I need to span both countries.

It does mean that I have to have pairs of accounts for some things, one in
each currency but with two separate files you would have this anyway. Where
a transaction is in more than one currency such as a US purchase on a
European credit card GnuCash automatically prompts for an exchange
rate/amount making it easy to manage.

I've chosen to duplicate at a high level which in your case would mean
"Expenses - US" and "Expenses - European" each with the appropriate group of
sub-accounts.
