The use case described there does not involve merely copy-file; it also involves some other function (org-mobile-push, I guess) that uses copy-file to copy files one at a time, and which gives up if one instance of copy-file fails. This is akin to a shell script that uses cp to copy files one a time, and which aborts if cp fails. Such a script would behave the same way that org-mobile-push behaves now, if I'm understanding the bug report correctly. One fix would be to modify org-mobile-push to not throw an error when copy-file fails, but instead to continue. Perhaps this is the desired behavior, not only for fchmod failure, but for other copy-file failures such as write error. In any case org-mobile-push could ignore some or all errors, or report them at the end, or whatever it likes.
