Well, the command is right, meaning that if I type in a terminal
touch dummy.jpg
I do get the file. Therefore you must have made an error in the directory (file_dirs) and your looking for the file in the wrong place.
Why not just put a
print, file_dirs+'dummy.jpg'
after the spawn command.

My guess: you forgot a forward slash after file_dirs, so that you're actually doing:
touch /home/thisisme/myoutputdummy.jpg
instead of
touch /home/thisisme/myoutput/dummy.jpg

I hope it helps.
