What does kilogram-force meter per kilogram per kelvin measure?

It measures the specific heat capacity expressing energy per mass per temperature increment using gravitational force units.

Why convert to CHU per pound per degree Celsius?

To use specific heat capacity values compatible with imperial mass units and Celsius temperature increments in engineering and thermal calculations.

Are temperature differences between Kelvin and Celsius important here?

For temperature increments used in specific heat capacity, the difference is minor but must still be applied correctly.
