Rather than just say you get a syntax error, please post the actual text of the error message.

You are reading each line into a variable called $FILE. Then you are trying to read from a file whose name is stored in variable $LINE. I suggest that you change the loop to while read LINE and the cuts to echo "$LINE" | cut -c-2-4.
