I arrive in Barcelona by air at 8:50 am. Does this leave me enough time to get to the train station by 12:10 pm for the trip to Pamplona

We arrived in Barcelona by plane and easily transferred to the Metro and passed Estacion Sants where your train to Pamplona departs in short order. You should have no difficulty making the connection.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Renfe Cercanias operates commuter train R2 from Terminal 2 at Barcelona Airport to Barcelona Sants. The train runs every half hour and trip time is 22 minutes.

You'll have to do your own time appreciation to allow for deplane, baggage claim, passport check, and getting to the Cercanias station. (if you arrive at terminal 1 you will need to add in shuttle time). Don't forget to add in 'slush' in case your plane does not arrive on time.

Renfe. Find 'Commuter trains' button then 'Barcelona' button to obtain schedule.
