Dwarves can not walk across a channel (as there is nothing to support them). However, you can put a grate on top of a channel, and the dwarves will be supported. This seems to be requiered to dig a long narrow channel.
In leyman's terms: digging an area will carve out a tunnel in the rock to crawl through, whereas channelling an area will remove the top of the tunnel as well, creating a Trench of sorts.
