Diffractive cross sections are calculated for W boson and dijet production at the Tevatron using pomeron parton densities obtained from fits to ZEUS deep inelastic scattering data. Compared to data from CDF and D0, the computed diffractive rates are larger, suggesting a breakdown of hard scattering factorization in diffractive processes.
