Abstract Diffractive parton densities extracted from diffractive deep-inelastic ep-scattering (DIS) at HERA fail to describe diffractive hard ppbar-scattering at the Tevatron. 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 GeV < 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.
