Abstract Diffractive parton densities extracted from diffractive deep-inelastic ep-scattering (DIS) at HERA fail to describe diffractive hard p pbar-scattering at the Tevatron. Due to the presence of both point-like (direct) and hadron-like (resolved) photon couplings, photoproduction provides a transition between DIS and hadron collisions and can reveal the underlying mechanism of factorization breaking. A new measurement is presented of single and double differential dijet cross sections in low-|t| diffractive photoproduction processes. Dijet events are identified using the inclusive k_T cluster algorithm. The cross sections, corresponding to the kinematic range 164 < W < 232 GeV, xpom < 0.05, E_T^{jet(1)} > 5 GeV and E_T^{jet(2)} > 4 GeV, are confronted with predictions based on diffractive parton distributions obtained in diffractive DIS at HERA and with Soft Colour Interaction models.
