You are getting a python style list with that echo. In case you need the values only, iterate over the elements using with_items and echo.

First, if you have a list, you have to join() the items together.

Second, to write a file, use the copy module.

Replace the last task with something like this:

- name: Write linked_dirs file

  copy:

    content: '{{ linked_dirs("n") }}'

    dest: /tmp/test
