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.
