It's quite common for airliners to be taxied around by people without a pilots license - engineers, for example. The rules are that you have to have had appropriate training, but I don't think there's anything which defines what that training is, or who can give it. So I can't see any problem at all.

Davidt - the flight time is the time the aircraft first moves under its own power for the purpose of taking off until it next comes to rest at the end of the flight (or something like that). This would not count as a "flight" even if the aircraft was moved, since it wouldn't be for the purpose of taking off.
