We've already pointed out the pointlessness of the || [[ -n $line ]] construct - you might consider to get rid of it.

Does your mv version provide the -v option? Does your grep offer the -x option? Would, then, this come close to what you need?
Code:
while read line; do mv -v $line $target; done <file 2>/dev/null | sed 's/\o047\| ->.*$//g; s/^/^/'  | grep -vxf- file
