Come on. If you copy code, then please recheck everything.

Same error as here.
This is wrong:

sourceinfo, err := os.Stat(source)
if err != nil {
    err = os.Chmod(dest, sourceinfo.Mode())
}

And you didn't handle the error case here:

    objects, err := directory.Readdir(-1)

    for _, obj := range objects {

And don't use fmt.Println! Return the error!

if obj.IsDir() {
    err = copy_folder(sourcefilepointer, destinationfilepointer)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }
} else {
    err = copy_file(sourcefilepointer, destinationfilepointer)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }
}
