Running a shell, i.e. creating a new process for each file found may work well on small file counts, but would not be that efficient on large dir trees.
What about using the (deprecated) -path test as Corona688 proposed, execing a mv -t "$dir01"/.LogFiles/ (option -t not present on all systems), followed by a + that collects all filenames found into the mv parameters? Like:

Code:

find . -ipath '*/05_scripts/*.aep Logs'  -exec echo mv -t "$dir01"/.LogFiles/ {} +

. Give it a shot and report results!
