Can you try printing workspace to make sure it's what you want? I think by using os.path.dirname you're backing up to the ArcCatalog folder, but you actually want it to be the .sde, at least according to the example here.

You're right. It goes to C:\Users\joanna.grossman\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.4\ArcCatalog.
