Actually, it's not the @ expressions as such that cause the problems,
it's the spaces you are trying to introduce within them, causing the org
parser to terminate the alignment term too soon.  Two solutions below.

I know this isn't pretty but you could use

  #+ATTR_LaTeX: align=r@{\hspace{1em}:\hspace{1em}}r@{\hspace{1em}}l

changing the 1em to whatever amount of space you actually want; probably
1ex is more likely...

The following also works but although it looks simpler here (in an
email), I don't like how Org hides the ~s in the first column
specification as it (incorrectly) interprets them as a verbatim style.

  #+ATTR_LaTeX: align=r@{~:~}r@{~}l

HTH,
