Glen,
Are you sure that the log entry you quoted refers to a transfer to North Africa? The effective date of the transfer is two full months before the Canadians took part in the invasion of Sicily. The units you are looking for may have been still located in the UK at the time the transfer took place and relocated (and renamed) later.
I haven't been able to find out exactly what CSBD and CR are short for but I think you are correct when you say you believe that RHU stands for Reinforcement Holding Unit.
Dan.
