find is not shell, it does not expand * inside commandlines. It does inside -name and -path arguments however.

\ is taken literally inside single quotes anyway, so probably won't do what you want it to do.

I don't think find can do everything you want all by itself, but it can at least find the names for you, and print them one-by-one. Shell can do the rest.

Code:
find ./ -path '*/05_scripts/*.aep Logs' | while read LINE
do
        echo mv "$LINE" $(basedir $LINE)/.Logfiles
done

Remove the 'echo' once you've tested and are sure it does what you want.
