Should one make advance reservation for a Sept trip from Bacelona to Granda now from home or wait until we are in Spain?

My preference would be to wait until you're in Spain. Go to the station and make the reservations for your outgoing trip when you arrive in Barcelona.

Have you considered a flight instead? Vueling, SpanAir and Iberia fly from Barcelona to Granada non-stop. You can usually get tickets for about $40 - $75 per person. The flights a about 1 hour 20 minutes instead of the 10 - 12 hours sheduled for the trains. Vueling has an early morning flight that could be used instead of the overnight train, giving you and extra night somewhere.

I took the overnight (coche-cama) train from Barcelona to Granada in September of 06 - left after dark and got in at sunrise. I bought the ticket while in Spain, I believe the day before. Just to be certain, perhaps book it as soon as you get to Barcelona.
