Please confirm that your xindy.pl is the same as
http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/texmf-dist/scripts/xindy/xindy.pl
and try
texindy -d keep_tmpfiles hest.idx

If you are using the above xindy.pl, then temporary files
must be created in the current directory.

In the former xindy.pl, there were problems in
temporary file names in windows, as pointed out by Urlike.

Thanks,
Akira
