If you can stretch I'd look at Stan's road rims. They're light, and if you're concious about weight you can also run them tubeless to reduce weight further.
With 32h to play with, they'll be strong enough, and I'm sure I've read people using them for cx.
The Kinlin's are meant to have fairly thin sidewalls to keep the weight down - probably not a problem in itself, but if you're going to be braking on them a lot, they'll wear out. Also if you do go for them I'd choose 20mm as you've got 32h hubs. Or maybe switch the front hub out for a 24h.
