Ok the following line finds all the files that I want to move out the

So, now it's the next part that scares me.
Should I do this?
find ./ -type f ! -mtime -2 -exec ls -al {} \; | xargs mv ../
in order to move the files found in the script up one directory?

why not just do:
find ./ -type f ! -mtime -2 -exec mv {} ../dest/dir/ \;
unless you have too many files and need to use xargs, then you could do:
find ./ -type f ! -mtime -2 | xargs -I {} -t mv $1/{} ../dest/dir/
