First, why do you use 'push' instead of 'setq'? Don't you want to
replace desktop-path for this invocation?
Second, is there actually an .emacs.desktop file in the ~/workspaces
directory?
Here's what I do for a long time in my .emacs:
(setq desktop-path '("." ".." "../.." "../../.."))
(desktop-save-mode 1)
Then starting Emacs in a directory with a .emacs.desktop file reads
that desktop file. So this feature works, it's just that something in
your case prevents it from working for you. Perhaps some debugging is
in order.
