What I'm attempting to do here is discard the err output of the command (and loop over the stdout output). However, it complains:
2> was unexpected at this time.
Is this some way to achieve this?

To redirect the output of a command to a file, type the command, specify the > or the >> operator, and then provide the path to a file you want to the output redirected to. For example, the ls command lists the files and folders in the current directory.
FOR /F. Loop command: against the results of another command. FOR /F processing of a command consists of reading the output from the command one line at a time and then breaking the line up into individual items of data or 'tokens'. The DO command is then executed with the parameter(s) set to the token(s) found.
Use double percent signs ( %% ) to carry out the for command within a batch file. Variables are case sensitive, and they must be represented with an alphabetical value such as %a, %b, or %c. Required. Specifies one or more files, directories, or text strings, or a range of values on which to run the command.
in this case you need to escape the > like this
for /F %%F in ('dir /B %* 2^> nul') do (
